Getting Help: Know the Numbers

The best time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Make sure your family knows emergency phone numbers - and make sure your kids know how to place a call for help.

Emergency Numbers
Having emergency numbers on hand is an essential part of being prepared. During an emergency, it's easy to become disoriented or upset, so you need to have all important phone numbers readily available ahead of time.

Write each phone number clearly so that it will be easy for kids to read. Use a pen with dark-colored ink because pencil or light-colored ink can be harder to read when you're in a hurry or if lights are dim. If you choose to create your own phone list, make sure your list includes the following numbers:

• emergency medical services (In most places this is 911, but your community may have its own number - check your telephone book if you're unsure.)
• poison control center
• hospital emergency room
• fire department
• police department
• your child's doctor
• parent(s) at work, including cell phone and pager
• neighbor or relative

Your list should also include known allergies, especially to any medication, medical conditions, and insurance information for all members of the family.

Because accidents can happen in any part of the home, make copies of the completed list and post one near every telephone in the house. In addition, make sure that adults who come to the house to watch your children (babysitters or relatives, for example) familiarize themselves with the list.

Teach Your Kids How to Call for Help
Even very young children can be taught how to place an emergency call for help. Teach your child what she'll need to know to place a call to 911 and talk to the operator:

1. how to dial 911 (or the emergency number in your community)
2. her full name
3. her full address
4. a short description of the emergency

Have her practice by speaking into an unplugged telephone. Suggest a situation, such as "Mommy's fallen down the stairs and can't get to the phone. Now what?"

After your child dials the number, prompt him or her with questions that an emergency operator would ask, such as "What is your name?," "Where are you calling from?," and "What is the emergency?" Stress that the description should be short ("Mommy fell down the stairs") and that he or she should try to stay calm. Practice until your child feels comfortable.

No one wants to think about an emergency happening at home, but it's better to face that possibility than to be caught unprepared. So keep emergency numbers close by — it's a small step that could have big consequences.
