Emergency Preparedness
When calling for help:
- Give your name.
- Give the building number and room number or other specific “location.” (This is crucial because the emergency dispatcher phone may not necessarily display the same information.)
- Give the phone number from which you are calling, including the extension number.
- Describe the situation or victim’s condition clearly and accurately.
- DO NOT HANG UP! Let the person you are talking to end the conversation; other information may be needed.
