Unfortunately, the call taker may not know where you are, especially if you are calling from a wireless device. Will the call taker always know where I am?
If in doubt, err on the side of safety and call 9-1-1 and let the experts who answers your call make the decision whether to send help or not. How do I know when to call 9-1-1?Ĭall 9-1-1 only if someone is hurt or in danger, or if you are in immediate need of police, fire or medical assistance.
