911 service has been restored in the Panhandle after being out for
about 10 hours Thursday night and Friday morning in all areas except
Scottsbluff-Gering.

911 service went down about 5:30 pm and was back up around 3:30
am. All non-emergency administrative lines at the Chadron Police
Station/Dispatch Center were also out during that time.

Chadron Police Chief Rick HIckstein says the Chadron center used the
department’s Facebook page and the emergency phone notification
call-and-text system to let the public know of the problem. The voice
call described it as nine hundred eleven service.

....

Hickstein says his dispatchers were first told of the outage not by
CenturyLink, but by their counterparts in Alliance and Rushville.

The company also didn’t notify them when service was restored; the
dispatchers had been testing it periodically all night and noticed the
system was working again about 3:00.
