She starts complaining first of chest pains and then having a difficult time breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You tell her to hang up and call 911, but she\u2019s faint and growing weaker by the minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or perhaps you were catching up with an old friend who lives far away when suddenly you hear shattered glass, banging sounds, aggressive voices, and then the line goes dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These things do happen, and when they do, the distance can make you feel completely helpless. How can you help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking up the phone and dialing 911 alone is not enough. You also need a 10-digit phone number for local law enforcement in your friend or family member\u2019s area. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens if you call 911 and it goes to voicemail? I wrote an entire article on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/911-go-to-voicemail-do-this\/\" target=\"_blank\">what to do if your 911 call goes to voicemail<\/a>. Click the link to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"911_Calls_Use_Local_PSAPs\"><\/span><strong>911 Calls Use Local PSAPs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A PSAP is short for public safety answering points, which is a call center that staffs operators who answer 911 calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you\u2019re not required to type in an area code when making a 911 call, you\u2019re still connected to a local PSAP. How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, part of it has to do with your phone company. The company knows where your number\u2019s area code is and routes it to your local PSAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if you\u2019re in Pittsburgh, you\u2019ll get a 911 operator who\u2019s near Pittsburgh. The police and fire department are closer to you and can get to you faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you traveled to New York, if you dialed 911 in New York, you\u2019d still get connected to the Pittsburgh PSAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why you need that 10-digit phone number for local law enforcement in your friend or family member\u2019s area.&nbsp;Have you ever wondered if <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/are-911-operators-police-officers-are-they-law-enforcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">911 operators are law enforcement<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote an entire article answering just that, click the link to check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than dial 911 for them, you should call a 10-digit phone number. Law enforcement in their area can put your call through to the area PSAP, and then you can get your loved one help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_the_dispatcher_redirect_your_call_to_the_correct_PSAP\"><\/span><strong>Can the dispatcher redirect your call to the correct PSAP?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, but before today, you had never even heard of PSAPs, and you have no idea what the 10-digit phone number is for your friend or family member\u2019s location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn\u2019t it just be a lot easier and faster for you to call your local PSAP, speak to a 911 operator, and have them redirect you all the way to sunny Florida or elsewhere in the country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be easier and faster, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no vast interconnecting network of PSAPs. A 911 operator has no ability to instantly connect to another PSAP across the country despite their job title.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if you dial 911 and speak to your local operator, they\u2019re going to spend time on the phone or researching online until they find the 10-digit phone number you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there\u2019s a difference between the 911 operator doing this and you doing it yourself. The operator is doing life-saving work taking calls about house fires, burglaries, domestic disputes, car accidents, you name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take the two minutes to research the 10-digit number without anyone else\u2019s life being on the line but your friend or loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the operator does the same, then a lot of people who need their services cannot get them for as long as they\u2019re on the phone with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/calling-911.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-504193\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You should do the right thing and research the information yourself. It\u2019s one thing if you absolutely cannot find what you\u2019re looking for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in a situation like that, you\u2019re better off calling your non-emergency police number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know, your situation is an emergency, as your friend or family member might be in a life-threatening situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, on your side of the country, there is no emergency. That\u2019s a tough pill to swallow, but it is what it is. That\u2019s why you should call the non-emergency police line instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you dial 911, your phone company looks at your area code to determine which public safety answering point or PSAP to connect you to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you travel clear across the country, your PSAP doesn\u2019t change. Dialing 911 when you\u2019re in Florida if your home is in New Jersey will still connect you to a New Jersey PSAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s for that reason that you can\u2019t dial 911 if an out-of-state friend or relative has an emergency. You need a 10-digit phone number for their local law enforcement, who can patch you in to the local PSAP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find that phone number on your own rather than call your local PSAP and ask them to help. You\u2019re detracting from life-saving services!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you live on the other side of the country from a family member or friend and &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Out-of-State Emergency?
