 Handling
an Emergency
Since emergencies
can happen
in the home
at any time,
your child
should be
taught how
to react accordingly.
- In any
emergency,
teach your
child to
alert the
parent or
adult who
is in charge.
- Teach
your child
911 or the
emergency
phone numbers
of the local
police department,
fire department
and ambulance
service.
Also, teach
your child
to dial
the emergency
phone number
only in
situations
where an
adult has
been injured
or is unconscious
and cannot
physically
dial the
phone for
herself.
- Teach
your child
her name,
street address
and phone
number for
identification
purposes
in an emergency.
When your
child is
able to
read, write
the emergency
phone numbers,
your street
address
and home
phone number
on a note
next to
the phone.
In an emergency,
your child
can call
emergency
numbers
and should
be prepared
to read
the following
information:
|
“My
name
is
|
______________________________
|
|
I live
at
|
______________________________
|
|
My
phone
number
is
|
______________________________
|
|
We
have
an emergency.”
|
The emergency
response professional
will be able
to request
additional
information.
