Other Things to Know About 911
Make sure your kids understand that calling 911 as a joke is a crime in many places. Every prank call or unnecessary call to 911 can delay a response to someone who needs help.
Kids should make sure they're safe before calling 911. For example, if there's a fire in your home, they should know to leave the house before contacting 911.
Although most 911 calls are now traced, it's still essential for your kids to have their street address and phone number memorized.
