According to MTMC officials, there is a phone outage at the medical center that has made it impossible to receive incoming or make outgoing calls. The outage is apparently affecting several other areas in and around San Andreas. MTMC states that AT&T has expedited the problem to the highest level; in the meantime it is working closely with multiple agencies to assess community needs as they might arise.
