For all Emergencies in Kitsap and Mason County call 911.

Making an Emergency Call

• Be clear as to what kind of assistance is needed; fire, police, medical
• Stay on the phone and answer all questions
• Give the specific location where help is needed (know the nearest intersection, for example)
• Stay calm, and speak clearly

Remember, wait for help to arrive so you can direct it to the emergency. Follow the directions of the call taker. If you know basic first aid and CPR, you can help people by providing emergency assistance until professional help arrives.

911 calls are answered by trained public safety dispatchers whose priority is the handling of emergency situations. Please take the time to look up a non-emergency telephone number for the appropriate government agency if you do not have a problem that requires a law enforcement officer, fire department or ambulance to come to your location immediately.
