On the 11:00 news on Global they were asking people to stop calling to see if they were there. They then added that if you have a legitimate emergency and get a "fast busy signal", to hang up and call right back.
I can see a person who lives with somebody with special medical needs wanting to make sure. Yes, it's a little self serving. In fact though I have often wondered why there isn't a "911 test" number that you can call. More so for teaching your kids about calling 911.
