Life-threatening emergencies

Call 911 when there is immediate danger to life, health, or property.

  • Clearly share your exact location and what happened
  • Stay on the line and follow dispatcher instructions

Non-emergency help lines

Use local non-emergency lines for issues that still need official help.

  • Use police non-emergency for reports that are not an active threat
  • Call 811 for health advice and 211 for community services (where available)
  • Contact poison control for medication or chemical exposure concerns

Household preparedness

Build a simple plan before emergencies happen so your household can respond quickly.

  • Prepare a grab-and-go kit with medication, water, and key documents
  • Enable local weather and wildfire alerts on your phone

What to do first

  1. Check immediate safety and move away from danger.
  2. Call 911 or the right non-emergency line based on urgency.
  3. Record key details and follow up with local support services if needed.

Emergency-ready checklist
