The recent world-wide CrowdStrike outages spilled over into Alberta, affecting 9-1-1 call services for a number of municipalities. Strathcona County was not impacted, and was able to provide emergency call services to our residents and key audiences as usual. The County was also able to provide coverage for our partners who faced disruptions, ensuring that emergency calling services continued to function in their municipalities. This robust system of redundancy worked as it should have. We covered for our partners today, as they will do for us. A regional 9-1-1 call partnership among municipalities will continue to ensure that Albertans across the province remain safe if their local 9-1-1 centre is down. The County is currently not providing support to its partners for 9-1-1 call reception as their operations have returned to normal following the impacts.
