Provides emergency dispatch services in Thurston County for police, fire and Medic One. Serves all cities, towns and unincorporated areas of the county. Accepts texts from those who are in a situation where they cannot call for medical, disability or safety reasons. Call 911 during a medical, fire or police emergency. Examples include: - crime in progress or if the suspect is still in area or close by, - any type of fire, - any medical emergency including non-injury falls or patient assists, - power lines down in roadways or areas that people could come into contact with the lines, - any other life threatening situations (traffic accidents with injuries, etc.). It is preferred if people call, however, texting is an option for those who may be in situations like: - the caller is hearing/voice impaired, - a medical emergency that prevents the caller from talking - when speaking out loud would put the caller in danger (home invasion, domestic violence, kidnapping, or active shooter), - any other emergency that makes it impossible to speak out loud.
