Tip # 5. Know the location of the emergency.

The wireless 9-1-1 caller must be aware that the 9-1-1 center that answers the call may not be the 9-1-1 center that services the area that the wireless caller is calling from.
Look for landmarks, cross street signs and buildings. Know the name of the city or county you are in.
Knowing the location is vital to getting the appropriate police, fire or EMS units to respond. Providing an accurate address is critically important when making a wireless 9-1-1 call.
