Kari’s Law (9-1-1) (Admin Only)
Kari’s Law is legislation in the United States that requires multi-line telephone systems to route 9-1-1 emergency
service calls through the phone systems automatically. Kari’s Law mandates that the electronics and
software used in multi-line systems support direct-dial-to-emergency-services, even if the system
normally requires the caller to enter an additional digit for an outside line. Under this law, Wabash is
subject to alert the front desk line that someone in the building/facility has called 9-1-1. This will also
pinpoint the extension that made the phone call.
To update the details, follow these instructions:
