What to do before an emergency occurs:

• Make sure your address is clearly visible on the outside of your house, and at the street access of your driveway so that emergency services can find it.
• Teach your children about dialing 9-1-1.
• Write your address out in large print and keep it near your phone. Even if you know your address perfectly, children, babysitters, or guests may not.
• Keep the phone at an easy to reach level for kids
• Keep cellular phones locked when not in use, as the '9' key or emergency button can be accidentally pressed and dial 911.
