An outage knocked out 9-1-1 service for some Westmoreland County residents this morning, said spokesmen for local emergency management agencies.

Service was restored by 11 a.m., though a spokesman for Sewickley Twp. emergency management said the lines may be "unstable."

In the event of a 9-1-1 outage in Westmoreland County, residents of North Huntingdon Twp. may call 724-863-8800 for assistance.

Other Westmoreland County residents who are having an emergency, but can't get through on 9-1-1, may call the backup number, 724-600-7358.
