NC 911 Board

During his visit the Governor thanked all those in the room for the work they did during Hurricane Florence to make sure that 911 calls were answered appropriately.

The North Carolina 911 Board is responsible for 911 communications in the state, as well as related policies, procedures and administering the state's 911 Fund.

During Hurricane Florence (September 12-20), North Carolina citizens placed 225,923 calls to 911 statewide, an average of 25,103 calls a day. During Tropical Storm Michael (October 11), North Carolinians called 911 almost 35,000 times.

PSAP managers from across the state gathered in Greensboro in October for three days of training.
