1. Emergency 911
The True Story of Emergency Services

2. Your mobile phone is perfect for
when…
• The car battery died because the lights were left on.
• The gas tank is empty and you are stranded on the side of
the road.
• There is a car accident or someone seems to be having car
trouble and you call 911 to report the information.
• You are having car trouble and need a friend to pick you
up after dropping it off for a check up.

3. The cell phone is for
road emergencies…
• When driving and your car stalls, the perfect solution is to
call a friend with your cell phone.
• If you are in a car accident or witness one, the cell phone
is a great way to contact emergency responders for help.
• As the name implies, a mobile phone is great for
emergencies when you are anywhere besides home.

4. Address tracking on
mobile vs. home phones
• When calling 911 on the road you must give your address
to the emergency responders. If you do not know your
location, they can use cell towers around you to
triangulate your location. This provides an approximate
range of your location.
• Your home phone gives an exact location when you call
for emergency help. Immediately after calling 911 your
address appears on the emergency responders screen so
they can send help. If you are unable to speak, they can
still send help.

5. The home phone is for
home emergencies
• When you can’t talk because you are the one in need of
medical help.
• If your child is choking and you have to assist them, you have
time to dial, not to give them directions to where you are.
• An intruder is in your house, the last thing you want to do is
talk and reveal your location.
• The home phone is the perfect solution and safety plan for
your house. Let your landline be your life line for
emergencies.

6. What is the address of…
•

•
•
•
Your work?
Your favorite restaurant?
Your child’s dorm room?
Your sibling’s house?
Your close friend’s apartment?
Do they have a landline? Or are you going to have to give
them directions and nearby landmarks in a time of panic.

7. Keep your family safe with the security of a landline.
