ORS 403.115 9-1-1 as primary emergency number; participation in emergency communications system; telephone book emergency listings; requirements

The primary emergency telephone number within this state is 9-1-1, but a public or private safety agency shall maintain both a separate 10-digit secondary emergency number for use by a telephone operator or provider and a separate 10-digit nonemergency number.

Every public and private safety agency in this state shall participate in the emergency communications system.

An emergency telephone number other than 9-1-1 may not be published on the top three-quarters of the emergency listing page of a telephone book. However, an alternative nonemergency telephone number for a 9-1-1 jurisdiction may be printed on the top three-quarters of the emergency listing page of a telephone book. The publisher may use the remainder of the page to list the Oregon Poison Center, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 9-8-8 coordinated crisis services system and United States Coast Guard, where applicable. The publisher shall refer to the community services section for other numbers.

The emergency communications system must provide:

Interconnectivity between public safety answering points and interconnectivity with providers of the same or similar emergency response services nationally;

The capability, within each primary public safety answering point, to receive all emergency calls placed locally within each 9-1-1 service area; and

The automatic location identification accurately portraying the location from which each emergency call originates.
