Rockbridge County is warning residents they may have difficulties reaching 911.

Emergency services are currently monitoring a 911 network outage affecting Verizon, Brightspeed, and AT&T customers in several areas of Virginia.

Rockbridge County 911 calls are currently being rerouted to the Alleghany Sheriff’s Office, but they say they do see when you’re calling.

Texting 911 remains operational for those needing immediate assistance. For non-emergency situations, residents are advised to contact (540) 572-2392. If users experience difficulties completing a call, they are encouraged to use a device with a different carrier.
