911 is for emergencies only.
Emergencies can be when there is a fire, someone is hurt or sick and needs to go to the hospital or if someone breaks into a home. Firefighters and police officers
are community helpers and help keep us safe. With sidewalk chalk, draw numbers like they would look on a phone. Using the 911 cards, have your parent read the card and you decide if you need to call 911. If it’s an emergency, practice hopping from 9-1-1. If it’s not an emergency, tell a grown-up right away.
Only call 9-1-1 in an emergency!
