Fewer and fewer homes have landlines, so it's no longer as simple as teaching your child to pick up the phone and call 911 if there is an emergency in your home. Here are some things to consider discussing with your child(ren):

• How can they call for help if there is an emergency and there isn't an adult around or the adult is unresponsive?  Do they know how to unlock and use your phone?

• Do they know their street address or is it written somewhere in the home for them to easily find? It is recommended to have this displayed on the refrigerator or somewhere else that is easily accessible for kids.

• Is there a neighbor's house who they could run to for help if they needed? You can practice this by walking to that neighbor's house with your child(ren) and having a conversation with your child(ren) and the neighbor about their role as supportive adults. 

• Do you have an outdoor "meeting spot" where your family can find each other in the case of an emergency?
