Microsoft’s global outage is affecting services in Sunderland, where police say online incident reports are unavailable and some GP surgeries cannot access email, the Sunderland Echo reports.
Why it mattersNorthumbria Police and Durham Constabulary are asking people to use direct messages or call 101 for non-emergencies; emergencies should go to 999. Surgeries say their phones, patient systems and AllianceCare remain working, so patients with urgent queries should use the phone rather than email.
Discuss: Should essential services be expected to publish reliable offline contact routes before a cloud outage, rather than improvise them during one?
