America has this system that communicates with the different departments, like ambulance, fire department and police department for emergencies. Approximately over two hundred million calls each year are made. 911 system is created for emergency purposes only.
There are some citizens who are misusing it. There are citizens that are seeking for information and not merely seeking for an immediate assistance. There citizens that are abusing the system not realizing that every seconds count. For this reason, everyone must really know its proper use to help sufficiently in 911 abuse prevention.
There were several instances that people use this for nothing. For example, dialing 911 because you want to make a date with the operator. A telephone complaint for a fast food chain because they ran out of something that you want.
The 911 system is created for a greater purpose, thus it requires you to properly use it. There are telephone operators that will attend to your need. A call should be made out for an emergency reason and nothing else.
Whatever the reason is, you have to stay calm and know the number you are calling from and your exact location. Do not hang up until you are directed to do so. Answer the questions clearly. Most of the questions are answerable by yes or no. The line taker will give you instructions, you have to listen carefully and do as what you are told to do. There will be some instances that you will be asked to describe a vehicle, suspects, victims or any other part of the scene, so you have to keep your eyes open.
Everyone must be aware when is the right time to call. There are citizens that do not know when to do it, maybe because there are unsure of their situation, if their situation is an emergency or not. Calling a physician will always be a good idea, but the disadvantage would be that there are times that they are unavailable, making 911 as an option.
There are certain conditions that you should not wait for your doctor to telephone you back. There are medical conditions that are time sensitive that will face serious consequences or worse death. Examples of life threatening conditions that need an immediate assistance are, anaphylaxis, heat stroke, chest pain for possible heart attack, coma, bloody diarrhea accompanied by weakness, dizziness, confusion, shortness of breath, weakness, stroke, uncontrolled nosebleed and vomiting blood.
There are many different reasons why you must not consider calling nine one one. You cannot dial the line to test if your phone works well. It cannot be used to ask how to contact police, fire department and an ambulance without an emergency. If you wish to do so, you may use line 411. It must no be used to get answers and solutions to your problems. Do not use and actually call the line as a trial in teaching your children how to use it. You cannot call for help if you are seeking assistance to a distressed animals or lost one. Use other lines for that matters. This line is supposed to be for humans only.
Awareness of its proper usage is highly needed for everyone. The system will attend to your emergency needs only. If it will be used beyond that, penalties will be given to you. There are many possible penalties that can be given to you once you will be caught.
