Please note - wireless landlines will not operate in a power outage, so check with your phone provider if you or someone at your place relies on a Fibre or Wireless landline for health, disability or safety reasons and you don’t have a mobile or other way to call 111 during a power cut they should be able to offer alternative ways to call 111 in an emergency.
