		In many areas in the North American Numbering Plan, 311 has been assigned as an urgent telephone number that may be used to contact the police and other services to report minor incidents and historic crime that does not endanger life, to avoid overloading 911.
		The first US 911 emergency phone system was set up in Alabama in 1968, but it was not in use everywhere until the 1980's to standardize the number across most of the NANP, Canada switched to using 911 as its emergency number in 1972.

		Telephone companies, including wireless carriers, may be entitled to apply for and receive reimbursements for costs of compliance with federal and state laws requiring that their networks be compatible with 9-1-1 and enhanced 9-1-1.
