Our best "conversations" happen when our callers are informed:
-Give the location of the emergency
-Provide a callback number

-Answer all the questions (it's OK if you don't know the answers to all the questions- we can help)
- Stay calm

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

We are seeing some signs the current restrictions are working. But our hospitals are still on the brink. Therefore, I am extending existing restrictions for three weeks – ending January 4th.

It is a dangerous time in Washington. We need to buckle down through the holidays.
