SIDNEY --A Panhandle Alert was issued Monday.

Due to maintenance on the 911 telephone systems, some landlines in the county may not be able to call 911 midnight tonight through 1 a.m. Tuesday, and between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Tuesday. 

The disruption of service will only impact landlines; not cellular phones. The Emergency Communications system encourages using a cell phone to call 911 during these periods.
