The Alberta Emergency Management Agency says the disruption is in the Clearwater County area and could affect emergency 911 service.

The communities include Rocky Mountain House, Nordegg, Leslieville, Withrow, Condor and other areas.

There was no immediate word on what caused the disruption.

The province is advising people who need emergency services to go to fire halls in Rocky Mountain House, Caroline, Nordegg, Condor or Leslieville.
