MESTA is the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for most of Mayes County
40,000 residents.  MESTA also dispatches for 10 of Mayes county's fire departments.

When you call 911, be prepared to answer a few simple questions to aid emergency
responders in responding to and handling the emergency.  Questions will include
the location of the emergency, your phone number (for the dispatcher to call back if
further information is required) and the nature of the emergency.  Please be familiar
with your location.  E-911 services are not currently available to wireless calls inside
Mayes County.  If you call 911 to report an emergency from your cellular phone,
please be prepared to tell the dispatcher your exact location.  Depending on your
service provider and your specific location, your call may be answered at a
PSAP
located outside of Mayes County.
MESTA utilizes the Emergency Priority Dispatch System.  The most advanced and
comprehensive emergency medical dispatch system available.  All of our dispatchers
are required to become
NAEMD certified shortly after employment and to maintain
certification.
