Dialing 911? Help responders help you. Calling 911 is often the first step in an emergency. What you do next can help emergency responders get to you quickly and safely. When you call, be ready to provide your location, explain what is happening and answer the dispatcher’s questions. Stay on the line and follow their instructions until help arrives. A few simple steps can make a big difference when every second counts. #EmergencyPreparedness# #PublicSafety# #FirstResponders#
