A nationwide Century Link outage is preventing cell phone users in Island County from being able to contact 9-1-1.

If you have a medical, police or fire emergency, here are four numbers you can use instead:

360-679-9567
360-675-3418
360-320-5795
360-320-5735

These numbers, normally the non-emergency numbers for Island County, will reach 9-1-1 dispatchers.

The outage has also affected Idaho, Arizona and Missouri.

The latest estimates from Century Link are that service “may be restored by 1 AM Friday.”

Through poignant and humorous stories, the filmmaker lays out a case for how tech time impacts the development of today’s children, while also offering solutions for how parents can work with their children to find a balance.

The film has received rave reviews in the New York Times and Forbes and been featured on Good Morning America.

A trailer for the film:
