Active state-of-emergency calling restrictions

Several states — most notably Louisiana and Florida — prohibit or restrict telemarketing calls while a declared state of emergency is in effect, to keep phone lines clear and protect residents during disasters.

That's the problem: declarations happen at any hour, often for regional weather events you'd never see in national news. This page reflects our continuously monitored list — paid accounts get automatic dial-blocking instead of having to check.

Usually yes, for calling restrictions tied to declarations — even when the underlying emergency is regional. Always treat a listed state as fully restricted unless your counsel advises otherwise.
