• Know Your Location: Wireless calls to 9-1-1 provide location information based on latitude and longitude to the nearest cell phone tower, so 9- 1-1 dispatchers will need more specific information. Be prepared to provide detailed information on where you are so that help can get to you as quickly as possible.
• Stay Calm and Don’t Hang Up: Until you are instructed to do otherwise, stay on the line so you can provide any necessary information or assistance to the 9-1-1 dispatchers. Even if you accidentally call 9-1-1, don’t hang up. Inform the dispatcher that you dialed accidentally and there is no emergency.
