Officials say 911 emergency lines are back up in Mississippi and Louisiana
911 systems across Mississippi and Louisiana are back online after going down Thursday afternoon, an AT&T spokesperson said. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said AT&T was reporting damage to some of its fiber optic lines and that was affecting 911 services across the state. Across Louisiana, 911 phone lines were also down. The state’s most populous cities, including Baton Rouge and New Orleans, reported emergency system outages Thursday afternoon.
