When to call 9-1-1

  • Do you know when you should call 9-1-1? The 9-1-1 system was first established in 1968 as an easy number to be remembered for getting help quickly!

    When you dial 9-1-1, the Emergency Services Dispatcher will ask you a series of questions to determine which emergency service you need and the level of response required. Answering these questions does not delay the response. 

    In the videos below, our friend Cell Phone Sally explains to us the correct way to call 9-1-1.
