TiPS Episode 25 0718 Legal But Lousey - Misleading Hotel Phone 911 Labels


Listen Later

Ever checked into a hotel, looked at the room phone, and saw something like “Dial 77911 for emergencies”?

Yeah… that’s a problem.

In this episode, Fletch breaks down why well-meaning but poorly labeled hotel phones are more than just annoying — they’re potentially dangerous. We dive into:

✅ What Kari’s Law and the RAY BAUM’S Act actually require

✅ Why “Dial 77911” can be legal — but still a really bad idea

✅ What happens when signage misleads guests in an actual emergency

✅ A real-world success story from NENA 2025 in Long Beach

✅ How you can advocate for safer emergency access — without dialing 911 to test it!

🎯 If you’re a hotel manager, public safety pro, or just someone who values not dying while traveling, this one’s for you.

📜 CFR Title 47, Section 9.5 isn’t optional — it’s federal law.

🧠 Don’t debate — educate.
