[outages] Verizon Issues?

[Charles Goorsky]

So I'm skeptical about the truth of this comment, and I'm wondering if
someone could set me a bit straighter:

"These reckless perpetrators are risking the lives of countless Americans
by cutting access to key lines of communications, especially to local
police, fire and rescue personnel."

Don't the local lines to police / fire go through the 911 dispatch?
Wouldn't that be a municipal (city-owned) communications platform? If this
is the case, wouldn't landline calls to 911 still work just fine?

Wouldn't a non-Verizon cellphone still also be able to get a call through?
