911 Service Areas and Agencies

The Willamette Valley Communications Center is a regional center in Salem, Oregon. It answers 911 calls and sends help to emergencies in Lincoln, Marion and Polk counties, as well as the Grand Ronde area. The center works with police, fire departments, ambulance services and other emergency agencies to make sure people get the help they need quickly.

This information is important because it explains which agencies work with the communications center to respond to emergencies. Knowing who provides emergency services in each area helps residents understand who will respond when they call 911. It also ensures people can contact the correct agency for non-emergency help.
