Always call 911 to report emergencies. Call from a safe location and remember to stay calm. Gather as much information as you can. Give a telephone number or safe location where the emergency responders can call or meet you and wait for the responders at that location.
You will be asked the following questions:
- Where is the emergency located?
- What is the emergency (fire, medical, hazardous material, threatening behavior, etc.)?
- How did it happen?
- When did it happen?
- Who are you?
Gather any other information that may be useful for the emergency responders (e.g. are there any injuries involved?).
Do not hang up until instructed to do so by the dispatcher.
Note: Always call 911 in a potential emergency situation. Even if it turns out not to be an emergency, your quick response could make a difference.
