Don't call 911 to ask about the weather, operators say ahead of snowfall

The province's largest emergency communications centre is reminding the public not to call 911 to ask storm-related questions.

E-Comm posted the message on Twitter ahead of another incoming storm along B.C.'s South Coast Thursday.

"Remember, 911 is not a general information line," the tweet read.

Officials asked those with questions to check online sources or local media for updates, and to keep 911 lines clear for real emergencies.
