What do I say when I call 9-1-1 from a landline at a home or business?
Give your address and state your emergency. The dispatcher will have several questions for you. Try to stay calm and answer all of the questions. While the dispatcher is getting the information from you, another dispatcher is sending the appropriate emergency personnel to the call.
