Be ready to say where help needs to go, such as exact address
and/or cross streets.
Wireless calls, like those from cellular phones, cannot help the dispatcher
pinpoint your location. You will have to know and be able to communicate
where you are.

Don’t hang up until told to do so by the 911 operator.
The dispatcher may ask you additional important questions or give you instructions
regarding what to do until help arrives. This will not delay the arrival
of help.

What if the situation is not a true emergency, but you still need medical
attention?
