Cell Phones and 911 When you’re in an emergency situation, the first thing you do, of course, is call 911. It’s often hard to remain calm and think straight in ...the middle of an emergency. While it’s important to explain the situation and say who you are, it’s even more important to first tell the 911 dispatcher where you are. If you are able to call 911 from a landline, you should. Landlines are associated with street addresses, which can help emergency crews find your location in the event that your phone call is cut off. If that’s not possible, you’ll have to call from your cell phone. The FCC estimates that over 80 percent of 911 calls are made from cell phones. It may seem like in this day and age, when GPS is integrated into every device we come in contact with, that 911 dispatchers should be able to figure where we are based on a cell phone call whether or not we actually tell them. But that is not always the case. Because cell phones are mobile, they are not associated with an exact location or address, like a landline phone would be. The location of the cell site closest to the caller can give the operator a general idea of where you’re calling from, but it’s not specific enough to send help quickly. After telling the dispatcher your exact location, give them your phone number. Telling them your number will ensure that if your call were to drop or if, in the haze that is an emergency situation, you accidentally hang up the phone, the dispatcher can call you back. If you don’t know the street number of your location, try to provide the closest intersection information and details about where you are located. Once your location and phone number is established, tell the dispatcher your name and explain the situation. Remaining calm is important, as it helps the dispatcher understand what is happening, so they can send the correct help as quickly as possible.
