9-1-1 Resources for Kids & Educators
Make sure children know how to dial 9-1-1 from the devices available to them (landline phone, cell phone with a passcode, and older flip phones). Also, teach them when to call 9-1-1 (for example, when they see fire coming from a neighbor's house) and when not to call 9-1-1 (they accidentally tipped over a lamp and broke it).
Help prepare children by making sure they can provide the information a 9-1-1- dispatcher will ask for:
- Their name
- Address
- Phone number
- A description of where they are if the emergency happens away from home
- What type of emergency it is or symptoms the victim is showing
