When one call 911, how is the call automatically local?

1.93K views

Hypothetically speaking, if someone is living in New York and they call 911, how does the call not go through a hospital in Los Angeles or other city from another state? How does the call automatically transfer to a local hospital in the area one lives in?

On top of the great answers, you would actually be amazed at the number of people who seem to think 911 is a nationally based thing. Like their call might be handled by someone in Wyoming or something if they live in Florida.

Get people who call all of the time and want to make sure I am familiar with the one major road that runs through the entire county. (I’m in a very rural place)
