Do you know what to do in an emergency?

An emergency is a time when you need help from a police officer, firefighter, or doctor. Take these steps to make sure you’re prepared:

Know your full name, parents’ full names, address (including city and state), and phone number (including area code).
Memorize your parents work and cell phone numbers.
Ask your parents to post a list of emergency numbers you may need by the phone.
With an adult, talk about different times you may need help and what you should do.
With your parents, pick a safe place you can go to near your house if you need help right away.

If there's an emergency,

Go to a safe place right away.
Call 911 or dial 0. (Ask an adult which is best.) Remember you can call both for free from a pay phone.
The operator will ask you what the emergency is, your name, full address, and phone number.
