ADAMS COUNTY LAUNCHES 911 TEXTING SERVICE
Text-to-911 is a valuable service allowing the public to send emergency messages via text.
Just like with a voice call, 911 telecommunicators will gather essential details about your emergency, including location and those involved.
While texting allows for communication, it’s important to note that it may take time. Please be patient and provide clear, concise answers. Voice calls remain preferable for quicker response.
Text-to-911 is particularly useful for individuals with speech or hearing impairments, or in situations where making noise may escalate danger, such as home invasions, domestic violence, or abductions.

Pennsylvania One Call Reminder:
Planning to plant a garden, build a fence, or undertake any digging projects? Remember to “Call 811 Before you Dig.” In Pennsylvania, it’s a legal requirement to make a One Call three business days in advance before excavating with mechanized equipment. Your action helps reduce underground utility damages in our community. For more details, visit www.paonecall.org or pick up brochures at the Township office.
