911 for Kids
Madison County 911 Communications

As a parent, there are a multitude of skills you must help your children acquire, and one of those is the use of the 911 System. Teaching your child how to use 911 in an emergency could be one of the simplest, most important skills you can provide.

For younger children, it might help to discuss who the emergency workers are in your community - police officers, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses and what kinds of services these individuals provide in the event of an emergency . This interaction will help your children understand what kind of emergency's can occur and who can help.
