Try to Stay Calm and Speak Clearly
What to do: Before you speak, take one deep breath. Speak a little slower than you normally would.
Why it's important: A calm voice is easier for the dispatcher to understand, ensuring they get the details right the first time. It also helps you think more clearly about the information you need to provide.
State Your Exact Location Immediately
What to do: This is the first and most critical piece of information. Be as specific as possible.
Start with the area: "I am in Kattappana on..."
Give a street address: "...Market Road."
Add a nearby landmark: "...across from the old post office," or "...near the big church."
If in a building: Provide the building name, floor, and apartment/room number.
Why it's important: Emergency services cannot help you if they can't find you. A precise location is the difference between help arriving in minutes versus being delayed.
Describe the Nature of the Emergency
What to do: Give a short, clear summary of what is happening.
"There has been a road accident, and someone is injured."
"I see a fire on the second floor of a building."
"An elderly person has collapsed and is not responding."
"I am reporting a break-in."
Why it's important: This tells the dispatcher what kind of help you need—Police, Ambulance, Fire Department, or a combination of them. Be ready to answer follow-up questions like "How many people are hurt?" or "Is the person conscious?"
Provide Your Name and Phone Number
What to do: Clearly state your full name and the phone number you are calling from.
Why it's important: The dispatcher may need to call you back if the line gets disconnected or if the emergency crew has trouble finding your location.
What to do: Stay on the line and listen carefully to the dispatcher's instructions.
Why it's important: The dispatcher is your link to help. They may provide you with crucial, life-saving instructions, such as:
How to perform basic first aid (like controlling bleeding).
How to administer CPR.
How to stay safe until help arrives.
