CALL IF YOU CAN – TEXT IF YOU CAN’T

TEXT TO 9-1-1 is not a replacement to a voice call to 9-1-1 in an emergency situation, but rather is an enhancement to reach 9-1-1 services in specific situations such as:

• The caller is hearing/voice impaired
• A medical emergency that renders the person incapable of speech
• When speaking out loud would put the caller in danger, such as a home invasion, domestic violence situation or an active shooter scenario
• Any other emergency that makes it impossible to speak out loud
