\n\t\u00b7 When calling 911, give the operator as much information as possible, i.e. type of emergency, what help is needed, exact address, building name, room number, telephone number, information from Medic Alert bracelet or necklace, and victim information. Don\u2019t hang up until you are told to do so by the 911 operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
