Emergency Contacts

In an emergency, staying calm is crucial.

Here’s what you should do to help emergency services reach you quickly and effectively:

  • Describe the nature of the emergency clearly and concisely.
  • Provide the exact location of the incident, including any nearby landmarks to help pinpoint the area.
  • Share details about any injuries or medical situations that require immediate attention.

Important: Stay on the line until the operator confirms it’s okay to hang up.
