Here's another article on non-emergency calls to 911. What's your take on educating the public in an effort to save resources (yes, that means 911 operators) for true emergencies? Do we take for granted that the public knows 911 is for emergencies only?

🚫📱None of these are justifiable reasons to call or text 9-1-1. When calls or texts like these clogs up 9-1-1 lines, it delays response to actual emergencies and puts others’ lives at risk. It's important to remember that 9-1-1 should only be contacted in emergency situations for police, fire or medical help. It is up to us to use 9-1-1 responsibly. 🐶If you have a pet emergency, call or visit your local vet emergency clinic for immediate medical attention for your pet. 💡If you have a power outage, and want to track the outage, go to the Center Point Outage Tracker ( https://hubs.la/Q02zKdMn0). 💦If you need to report a broken pipes, call your local plumber. #reasonstonotcall911 #ghc911 #911texting #textto911 #texting911 #publicsafety #call911#911education #nonemergencynumber #emergency #harriscounty #fortbendcounty #911saveslives #callifyoucantextifyoucan

This is great advice for everyone not just Texans. As #911 centers nationwide experience staffing issues and increased call volume it is important to know if a call is actually an #emergency or can it be handled by #311. 311 is a simple way to report problems or ask questions without tying up emergency lines. 311 can forward complaints to local government, local utilities, and other public services to get the problem fixed or answer questions. So, before you call the police, consider whether or not your concern is an emergency. But of course, if you do have an emergency including serious injury, fire in your home, or anything life or death never hesitate to call 911. #publicsafety #911dispatch #nonemergency #cityservices

The Importance of Keeping Emergency Numbers and a Cell Phone Nearby in Case of an Emergency In times of crisis or emergency, having quick and easy access to emergency numbers and a cell phone can make all the difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of yourself and your loved ones. Whether it be a medical emergency, natural disaster, or threatening situation, being prepared with the right tools can help you stay calm and respond effectively.

Quick communication: A cell phone allows you to communicate with emergency services, family members, and neighbors in real-time. You can provide vital information, such as your location and the nature of the emergency, to ensure a swift response. 4. Peace of mind: Knowing that you are prepared. #police #firedept #911 #emergency #hotline #poisoncontrol #information #shieldedhomesecurity

🚒 Why invest in fire & rescue services? It's about more than just fires! In 2023, we had over 4000 medical emergencies - only 13% of which were overdoses. Our residents expect help fast and it's our responsibility to show up for them. By adding 16 new firefighters and smaller response vehicles with two-person teams we are helping to ensure we’re there when it counts while keeping larger resources ready for major incidents. #FireService #CommunitySafety #FirstResponders #EmergencyResponse Dan Ruimy
