911 Emergency Message
Publication Insert

With the winter months ahead and the hazards of this season's driving conditions around the corner, the State's 9-1-1 emergency system will be busy, more than ever, with increased calls. Thousands of calls regarding roadside emergencies and life-threatening accidents will pour into our 9-1-1 centers.

Last year, New Jersey residents placed more than two million emergency calls to 9-1-1 using wireless phones. But, wireless phones don't automatically provide 9-1-1 call takers with all the information they need.

That's why it is important for all wireless users to remember to provide 9-1-1 call takers with an exact location, type of emergency, who is involved, and a phone number. If driving, pull over to a safe place, and then provide as much specific information as possible. The more information you provide, the quicker we can help.

Thank you. Together, we can all help New Jersey's 9-1-1 system help you.
