Did You Know You Can Text 911?

Did you know you can text 911 in an emergency? This feature is especially critical if you are unable to speak due to a domestic violence situation, home invasion, or other emergency.

To use this service, open your mobile phone's text messaging program. Enter the numbers 911 in the “To” field. Type a message with the location and address of the emergency (including city) and the nature of the emergency (what is happening and whether you need police, fire or medical aid).
