TY/TDD USERS

Why 9-1-1 and NOT 911?
People have actually become confused and tried to dial Nine-Eleven! We emphasize Nine-One-One so you will not become confused and you will react properly during an emergency.

When using your wireless phone to report an emergency to 9-1-1, give us a notable landmark, cross street intersection, and exact description of emergency you are reporting. Always remember your wireless phone number complete with area code and your name to give to 9-1-1.
