When you call 9-1-1, the operator will ask you if you need police, fire, or medical help. If you're not sure, just explain what's going on and the operator will take it from there.

If you can't remember 9-1-1, just dial "0" for the operator. If you're away from home and a pay phone is nearby, just pick up the handset and dial. An emergency call from a pay phone is free-you don't need any coins.

It's okay to tell the operator your name and your age. If you are calling from a home telephone, you don't need to know the address. The address will automatically show up on the operator's computer screen. If you're outside calling from a cell phone, the computer won't be able to tell exactly where you are. So, the operator might ask you if you can see any street signs or large buildings near by. They need that information so they know exactly where to send help.

Stay on the phone until the operator tells you it's okay to hang up. They will probably ask you questions while help is on the way. Speak loudly and clearly, and answer the questions the best you can.

If a fire breaks out at your home, leave immediately and go to a neighbor's house to call 9-1-1. Never call 9-1-1 from inside a burning building. Your safety comes first!

You should only call 9-1-1 for life and death emergencies-when you need help fast. Maybe you are seeing a crime in progress, or someone's very ill or was badly injured in an accident, or if there's a fire.

Sometimes when we make telephone calls, we dial the wrong number by mistake. If you dial 9-1-1 by mistake, wait until the operator answers and tell them you dialed the wrong number. If you dial 9-1-1 then hang up without talking to the operator, they will think something is wrong and will send a police officer or deputy to your home to see if you're okay. If you stay on the line and tell the operator you just dialed the wrong number, they'll be happy.

Uh-oh, I'm lost!

It happens to almost every kid at least once-you're in a store, looking at a new toy or game, then suddenly you look up and Mom or Dad is gone! You're lost! What should you do?

The most important thing is to stay calm. Remember, an adult would never leave without you. First try loudly calling the adult you're with. They might be around the corner, just out of sight.

If you're in a store, find someone who works there and tell them what happened. Usually people who work in stores wear a uniform or a name tag, or stand behind a counter near a cash register. They can help find the grown-up, fast.

If you can't find a store employee, stand still and don't move. The grown-up you came with might be searching for you. Give them a chance to find you.

If you're going to a theme park or another place with lots of people, the best thing to do is stick close to the adult in charge or others in your group. It's best to use the "buddy system", so you always stick with a "buddy" during the activity. When you arrive, adults and kids should come up with a plan, so everyone knows what to do if someone gets separated from the group.

Pick a meeting spot that's easy for everyone to find and remember. If someone gets separated, everyone must meet at that spot. If you're not sure how to get there, stand still and don't move. Give the grown-ups looking for you a chance to find you.

You can always ask an employee for help. Look for people wearing uniforms or name tags. They'll know how to get you back to your group.

If you get lost outside, the two most important rules are: stay calm, and stay put. Adults who are looking for you can't find you if you are moving from place to place. Find a spot to wait near an open space, where people could see you.
Isn't it fun to explore the Internet? It has everything from cool games to information that can help you get an "A" on your homework. Millions of kids like you surf the 'net every day. But, be careful if you enter chat rooms. People don't always tell the truth about who they are, or why they're online. Sometimes adults enter chat rooms pretending to be kids like you. And that's dangerous!

The first step to safe surfing is knowing your online boundaries. Avoid a hassle later by asking a parent now-when can I go online? What sites can I visit? How long am I allowed to surf the 'net?

Keep your identity a secret. Don't give out your full name, home address, school name, your photograph, or your telephone number to someone you meet online.

If your new online friend wants to get together-STOP! First, discuss it with your parent or guardian. If they approve, you and your online friend should arrange to meet close to home in a public place, like the mall. Both of you should bring an adult to the first meeting. Better safe than sorry!

If you ever get an instant message or e-mail that makes you feel scared, confused, or uncomfortable, don't answer it. You need to tell an adult you trust, right away. They can decide if it should be reported to your Internet service provider.
Some websites ask for information about you. They might want your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Usually, they ask so they can e-mail you updates about their product or service. Don't ever give them that information unless you have a parent's okay.

Don't open e-mails from senders you don't know. Some might be an attempt to sell you something you didn't ask for. Others may contain a virus that can damage your computer. When in doubt, hit delete!
