According to the American heart Association the first link in the chain of survival is recognizing an emergency and calling 911. . Some people hesitate because they are scared or not sure if it is important enough to call. In our classes we talk about some major points to take into consideration:

  1. Calling 911 from a land line telephone vs. cell phone
  2. What the differences are when you do call from a cell phone.
  3. The four(4) basic questions you will need to answer.
  4. Response times in your area.

The 911 section covers more than these four questions but that should start to raise questions like:

  •  Do I know what to do?
  • Where should I call from?
  • Can I get in trouble if I call?
  • How long will it take for help to arrive?

We will help prepare you in the event of an emergency.

Do you have an I.C.E. sticker on your phone for protection?
