In the unfortunate case that you need to call 9-1-1, here are a few helpful tips: • When you call 9-1-1 they will ask if you need “police” “fire” or “ambulance” know which one you are needing. Your call will be redirected. • Stay on the line and follow the instructions given. • Know your location. They will confirm or ask for your location, especially if you are using a cell phone. • Remain calm, the call-taker is trained to ask specific questions, the information you provide is vital. • Don’t hang up, even if you dial accidentally. They will not know if you are okay, and will send emergency personnel anyway. • Make sure your street address is clearly visible from the street. Having your address both on your house and at the end of the driveway will help responders know they are in the right location. • Teach your children to use 9-1-1 properly. Never give old cell phones to children to play with, even if they no longer have a plan 9-1-1 will work anyway. The 9-1-1 service is provided by the Regional District of Bulkley Nechako.
