It can be frightening to call 911 for emergency help, but it is important for emergency services personnel to know the information necessary in order to provide proper emergency service to those in need, and even more important for you to stay as calm as possible to assist the 911 dispatcher.
The 911 operator will need the following information when taking a report of an incident in progress (taking place at the time you call) or one that has happened prior to the call.
From an early age Americans are taught to dial 911 in an emergency, it’s fast and easy to remember and is dialed almost 2,000 times every day in Snohomish County.
