Good morning,

With it being National Telecommunicator's Week, we thought it would be a good idea to remind you of some tips and tricks if you ever have to call 911.

1. Try and stay calm. The dispatcher has to be able to understand what you are saying in order to send you the help you need. Take a deep breath and trust they are there to help and will walk you through instructions before responders get there.

2. Location, Location, Location. In order to send you prompt help, they need to know where you are. Although the mapping they have is good, being able to verify that is paramount. If you are unfamiliar with the area, tell them what you see around you or try and find a house close that has a 911 address sign. Only get out of your vehicle if is safe for you to do so.

3. If you are in a situation where you cannot talk, call 911 and put the phone down. Dispatchers are trained to listen for anything in the background that will help them to determine the nature of the emergency. You can also text to 911 if you need. There was a story several years ago about a person being in a domestic and calling 911 to order a pizza, thankfully, the dispatcher was able to ascertain there was an emergency, but this is not common practice. If you can't answer freely, the dispatcher should be able to have you answer yes or no questions.

4. If you accidentally call 911 - it happens to all of us. Just stay on the line and let them know it was a misdial. Otherwise they are going to call you back.
