9-1-1 & Kids

"Every year, hundreds of thousands of calls are received at 9-1-1 centers across the country. Many of these callers are young children, some of whom may be frightened and alone. Unfortunately they are also unfamiliar with what to do and say once they have reached the 9-1-1 dispatcher." as stated by 9-1-1 for Kids.

The information provided below will help parents, educators, and childcare providers teach children what 9-1-1 is, how to call 9-1-1, when to call 9-1-1, and what to do once the 9-1-1 dispatcher answers the call.  If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Morton County Emergency Management at (701) 667-3307.
