Stay on the line and try to remain calm. Do Not Hang Up! Some of the questions asked might not seem important, but they are necessary for the Operator to provide you with the best possible service.
Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. The 911 emergency dispatcher will ask you these questions:
• What is the Address of the emergency?
• What is the phone number you are calling from?
• What happened?
• What is the Age of the patient?
• Is she/he conscious and breathing?
If you dial “9-1-1” by mistake, stay on the line and explain what happened. Otherwise, it will be assumed that you have an Emergency, and responders will be sent to investigate.
