Emergencies(緊急情況)don' t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get?help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for
emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it
quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16th, 1968 in Alabama, Today,
911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of
Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it's 999. If you're not sure
which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should
call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a
fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the9111 operator(接線員)it' s always OK to give out your
information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. What
happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don' t hang up(掛斷)!
