Learn How to Text 911 - Hope House Kansas City

Call when you can, text when you can’t. Calling 911 is always the best option. But if you are in circumstances where that is not available, you can text. A few key tips to remember:

Include your exact location and nature of your emergency
Use clear, simple language — no abbreviations or slang
Do not include photos or videos in your text
Put phone on silent if incoming messages will sound and compromise your safety
Do not text and drive
