How to Report an Emergency
In an emergency, dial 911 from your phone immediately.

- The location of the emergency, including the street address.
- The nature of the emergency.
- Your name and phone number.*
- Details about the emergency, such as a physical description of a person who may have committed a crime, a description of any fire that may be burning, or a description of injuries or symptoms being experienced by a person having a medical emergency.
* Callers to 911 are not required to reveal their names, addresses, or phone numbers if they wish to remain anonymous.
