Every question asked by a 9-1-1 dispatcher has a purpose and is intended to get help to the caller faster. Stay on the line until 9-1-1 tells you it is okay to hang up.
🔹 Stay calm & speak clearly when calling 9-1-1. 🔹 Answer all questions accurately. 🔹 Know the exact location of the emergency. 🔹 Stay on the line unless told otherwise. 🔹 Call if you can, text if you can’t. 🔹 Use 9-1-1 for emergencies only. Every second counts. #911Ready

Texas: Flooded roadways are dangerous. Never drive around barricades. See a barricade but no water? Don't drive around it! Even when water recedes, the ground may be unstable. Find more flood safety tips at ready.gov/floods.
Today is a day of recognition of the tireless service of paramedics around the world. It’s not clear how they manage to rise to the occasion day in and day out, but there’s no doubt that their service makes the world a better place. #unityandcommunity #IPD2025…
