Map where you can text 911 in the US, county by county

Texting 911 can be a lifeline for Deaf people or anyone who can’t safely speak, but support depends on which local 911 center you reach. The FCC publishes a registry of ready centers, but it’s a spreadsheet nobody browses. Turn it into a simple map and lookup that answers “can I text 911 here?”

Once solved, this helps deaf and hard of hearing people.
