If You See the Signal:
If you see someone use the Signal for Help, check in with the person safely to find out what they need and want you to do.
They may want to tell you what is happening. They may ask you to listen and be there for them. They may ask for help finding services.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency services (police, fire, ambulance).
