There are several simple
things you can do to put
a stop to accidental 911
calls, according to Pacific
County, Wash., Emergen-
cy Manager Stephanie
Fritts.
These guidelines will
keep operators free to
handle true emergencies.
• Always lock your
phone before putting it in
your purse or pocket. This
simple step can prevent
most accidental phone
calls to 911. It also pre-
vents accidental calls to
bosses and ex-boyfriends
or girlfriends.
• Supervise young
children when they play
with your smartphone,
and don’t give them old
phones to use as toys.
Even old, out-of-service
phones can call 911.
• If you do accidentally
call 911, don’t hang up!
Stay on the line, and brief-
ly explain that you called
by accident. You won’t get
in trouble.
