9-1-1 Tips
- Call 9-1-1 if you have an emergency that requires immediate action from the police, fire or ambulance: if someone's health, safety, or property is in jeopardy or if a crime is in progress.
- Know your location at all times.
- Don’t program 9-1-1 into any phone.
- If you call 9-1-1 accidentally, stay on the line and let us know.
- Lock and store your cellphone carefully to prevent accidental 9-1-1 calls.
- Do not text or tweet 9-1-1. Dial 9-1-1 in an emergency.
