I'm glad that they had a plan to call back those that didn't make it through but it would seriously worry me that I wouldn't be included in that queue when I really needed to be. There's no real answer to the question I posed, unfortunately. I wonder how many long discussions occurred, on that specific topic, during that "crisis" period.

But now I feel like I need to call 911 every so often just to make sure I can get through when a scary looking thug is standing outside my door. MSPD makes a good point.

Though the incident highlighted is unfortunat, it sounds like the overall issue was handled appropriately in my opinion.
