What Does Enhanced 911 Do For Me?

You Only Have to Remember One Number in an Emergency...911.
Before 911, callers had to know which police, fire, and ambulance districts they were in, and the correct seven digit number to call for assistance.

Routes Calls to the Correct Party for Responce.
The system routes your call to the appropriate communications center; and determines which police, fire, and ambulance departments respond to you location; so this saves the call-taker time in dispatching you call to the proper responder.

Automatically Identifies the Phone Number and Location You Are
Calling From.
When you call 911, the phone number and location you are calling from automatically display on a screen at the communications center. If you cannot give your location, the call-taker will know where you are and can send help.

Note: There are some phones that are unable to pass Location information on to the 911 system. These include cellular phones and phones on some Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems.
