Title
Allen County Ohio - EMA/911
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The 9-1-1 concept was originally developed to provide the public with one simple, easy-to-remember number to call for help in emergency situations. In May of 1985 the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation to create statewide 9-1-1 capabilities. At the time of the bill’s passage, lawmakers estimated it could be 20 years, or until the year 2005 before 9-1-1 service was available everywhere in the state of Ohio.
- In March of 1986 the Allen County Commissioners established a 9-1-1 Planning Committee to begin the task of establishing the 9-1-1 service here.
