The disruption is impacting the entire province, excluding the City of Winnipeg, an emergency alert said.
Manitobans who require emergency services are urged to try 911 first, but if they can not get through, they are told to call their local fire, police or ambulance service directly.
The Brandon Police Service said the disruption is not related to the Brandon Public Safety Communication Centre and that the telecommunications service provider is “actively working to resolve the issue”.
