Introduction to Emergency Services & 911
Information for Parents
Consider this...
• If you no longer have a landline phone at your house, would your child be able to tell
the 9-1-1 operator your address? Dispatch will not have access to address infor-
mation for cell phone calls.
• Your child will need to know, how to place a 9-1-1 call. Have you reviewed this with
him/her?
• Help your child learn your home address. This is important information for him or
her to know. If your child does not know his/her address, keep it written down and
easily available—such as on the refrigerator. See page 5.
• We teach kids to dial 9-1-1 Green Button since most cell and portable phones require
using the green button to send the call.
• We teach students an emergency is something mom or dad cannot fix; It’s a situation
when a police officer, a firefighter, and/or a paramedic is needed.

Know your address when you call 9-1-1.
If you do not know your address and phone number ask an adult to help you learn. Write it on this card, cut
it out and attach to your refrigerator. You can use it to read to the 9-1-1 dispatcher if you have to call for an
emergency.
