Smart Safety - Survey Data From the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch

 Did you know that about 3 out of 4 Americans will need to call 911 at least once in their lifetime?  

Since National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is coming up (April 13 – 19), you might be interested in new survey data from the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch. The survey found: 

• Over half (59%) of 911 calls may be lifesaving.
• The majority (71%) of 911 calls make a difference in the caller’s life.
• Of those who remembered feeling fear or anxiety, 82% felt calmer after calling 911
