Though Astoria 9-1-1 is considered a small Center, we have truly outstanding employees standing ready to answer the call of duty

 

A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER

 

HISTORY OF 911

Each year an estimated 240 million 9-1-1 calls are made in the United States. According to the FCC about one-third of these are wireless, or calls made from cell phones. In our area this trend is actually closer to two-thirds. Astoria 9-1-1 received nearly 13,000 9-1-1 calls in the year 2013. In addition to these emergency calls our Dispatchers also handled over 46,000 non-emergency calls for service!

Free Online Driving Practice Tests

Thu, May 14, 2015

Astoria Public Library patrons can take Oregon car, motorcycle, and commercial driver license practice tests, by visiting http://astorialibrary.driving-tests.org     

Driving-Tests.org offers free DMV practice tests to library patrons. The service includes free tests, written specifically based on the state DMV materials, and includes accessibility tools that allow users to hear selections read aloud, make them into MP3s, translate pages into other languages, magnify text, and mask sections of the screen for greater visibility on driving practice tests. The site is designed to help new drivers study state manuals and take driving practice tests based on the real DMV written exams.
