Update: (10:38pm)
Manistee County says:
"Manistee County Alerts: Manistee County 911 is back to normal operations"

Update: (6:34pm) The dispatch center has clarified the original message. They say that 911 should still be called in case of an emergency, but that a person may have to call back, or try multiple times, as they only have one 911 line working at the moment. A caller may also be auto-forwarded to Benzie County dispatch.

Manistee County has issued the following statement:
"Manistee County Alerts: Manistee County 911 is having phone problems call 911 for emergencies or 231-723-4511 for non emergencies we will advise when repaired"
