SIGN UP SIGN UP FOR MINORS Enhanced 911 Enhanced 911 (E911) is an additional service offered through VRS. Like a traditional call, a Deaf individual can dial 911 using a videophone or mobile device. With Sorenson Relay, E911 calls are given priority and immediately routed to the first available interpreter, and then routed to the nearest emergency response center (based on the caller’s registered address). Children can feel more secure knowing they have a way to call for help in an emergency. This peace of mind extends to working parents with children who are home alone after school.
