WHEN TO CALL 9-1-1

Emergencies don't happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help fast. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone number. That's why 9-1-1 was created - to make it easy.

WHEN SHOULD I CALL 9-1-1?

9-1-1 is for emergencies, potential emergencies, or when an emergency is imminent.

• Ask yourself, "What is the level of urgency?"
• Is there a danger to life or property?
• Are you or someone else the victim of a crime?
• Do you have a police emergency?
• Do you or someone else have a medical emergency?
• Do you need the fire department?
