Why do 911 telecommunicators ask so many questions? They're gathering info for first responders. Answering questions does not delay assistance!
What can you do?
โ Stay calm
โ Give your address/phone number
โ Briefly describe the situation/yourself
โ Listen to the call taker
โ๏ธ Did you know? โ๏ธ
We receive over 10,000 โbutt dialsโ to our 9-1-1 center annually. ๐ฑ
That means over 10,000 return calls we have to make to ensure there isnโt an emergency. ๐ฅ
Help us help others. Lock it before you pocket! ๐ #NPSTW#THANKYOU911 @NorfolkDEPR
