My small city (population 89,000) had a 911 outage about 2 years ago. Their solution was to sms text or voice dial everyone with the message “…please dial any county non-emergency number… see a list of numbers at bitly.url…”. The hosted website was hugged-to-death.

After fines, it was inevitably cheaper to extend the nearest net backbone closer to our neck of the woods and upgrade all county things with fiber and data centers.
