#BePrepared - Calling 911

Did you know over 80% of calls to 911 are made from cell phones? While cell phones are convenient, they are subject to poor or no reception, depending on where you are calling from.

Common causes of poor reception or call failures include:
• Geography/environment 
• Adverse weather conditions 
• Building materials/structure 
• Remote areas 


#Beprepared for call failures by using a landline or moving to an area with better reception and learn more about calling 911.
