Learn CPR by contacting Bellingham Technical College or the American Red Cross.
Place 9-1-1 stickers, your address and phone number, and emergency numbers on or near the phone.
When dialing 9-1-1, be sure to answer all the dispatchers’ questions and follow their directions. Speak slowly and stay calm. Stay on the phone until instructed to hang up.
Provide specific information about where the emergency is taking place. For example, the building number, apartment number, nearest entrances, which pool, etc.
To direct emergency personnel to the scene, turn on an outside light and, if available, send someone out to meet them.
Unlock gates or doors leading to the apartment so firefighters can make entry.
