Yeah, my old phone has no sim but still has 911 capabilities. It even scrolls the message "No SIM card - emergency calls only" across the top of the phone. I think it might be the law here, all phones whether cell enabled or not have 911 access.

    The move is unprecedented, but officials say the region has never faced "a drought this severe."

    "Given the state of reservoir levels, this reduction is required to merely maintain water flows throughout the summer and fall," RDNO communications officer Stacey Raftus said in an emailed statement.
