GUIDE TO CALLING 911 9-1-1 NEEDS TO KNOW WHERE TO GO. When calling 9-1-1, one of the first things you’ll be asked to provide is the location of the emergency you’re report-ing. The call taker may not automatically know your location or may ask you to con-firm it. Provide as much detail on your location as possible, such as landmarks, cross streets and mileposts. REMAIN CALM, BE PREPARED. Try to stay calm, give information and follow all instructions. Professional call-takers are trained to get information from you. Listen carefully and answer as con-cisely as possible. Remember that even if the dispatcher is still asking questions. HELP 9-1-1 HELP YOU. The more you know what to expect when you call 9-1-1, the faster 9-1-1 can get you the help you need. You can save a life! Follow all instructions the 9-1-1 call taker gives you, and don’t hang up until the call taker does. If you get cut off, call back and explain that you were cut off.
