Text-to-9-1-1 Now Available

Orange County launched Text to 9-1-1 on February 6, 2019. The system has been implemented jointly in every public safety agency in the County. If for any reason you text 9-1-1 and it can’t be delivered, the texting party will receive a bounce back message advising “text is not available, please make a voice call.”
