(1) The primary emergency telephone number within this state is 9-1-1, but a public or private safety agency shall maintain both a separate 10-digit secondary emergency number for use by a telephone operator or provider and a separate 10-digit nonemergency number.
(2) Every public and private safety agency in this state shall participate in the emergency communications system.
(3) An emergency telephone number other than 9-1-1 may not be published on the top three-quarters of the emergency listing page of a telephone book. However, an alternative nonemergency telephone number for a 9-1-1 jurisdiction may be printed on the top three-quarters of the emergency listing page of a telephone book. The publisher may use the remainder of the page to list the Oregon Poison Center, Federal Bureau of Investigation, a designated mental health crises service and United States Coast Guard, where applicable. If there is more than one mental health crises service in a jurisdiction, the local health department shall decide which mental health crises service the publisher may list by using the criteria of a 24-hour staffed service, nonprofit organization and non-9-1-1 participating agency. The publisher shall refer to the community services section for other numbers.
(4) The emergency communications system must provide:
(a) Interconnectivity between public safety answering points and interconnectivity with providers of the same or similar emergency response services nationally;
(b) The capability, within each primary public safety answering point, to receive all emergency calls placed locally within each 9-1-1 service area; and
(c) The automatic location identification accurately portraying the location from which each emergency call originates.
