- 911 is pretty much the go-to emergency number for police and fire services, but when there’s not a crime involved or it’s a parking or noise complaint, you’ll often get a better response by dialing the non-emergency line instead. Here are some numbers to keep on hand (in your phone and on a paper list on your refrigerator).
- Building Manager or Landlord (if applicable)
- Local Police Department
- Local Fire Department
- Local Hospital
- Primary Doctor
- Poison Control: (800) 222-1222
- Veterinarian (if applicable)
- Utilities
- Trusted Neighbors
