911 emergency service

911 is the emergency telephone number in the United States and many other countries used to request immediate assistance from police, fire, and medical services. When you call 911, an operator answers to assess your situation and dispatch the appropriate responders. This service is available 24/7 and is designed for urgent emergencies, such as accidents, crimes, or medical situations. It’s important to use 911 only for emergencies to keep lines open for those in critical need of help. Non-emergency situations should be directed to local authorities or services.
