4 Guide to the Back Mountain
911
(continued from page 3)
chief dispatcher for the Back Mountain
Communications Center suggests you remember to
give the following information:
1. The nature of the emergency
2. The municipality you live in. This is not the same
as you mailing address. For example, many people
have Shavertown mailing addresses, but live in
Jackson Township. Tell the dispatcher Jackson
Township. In other cases, residents of Harveys Lake
may have Dallas mailing addresses and should tell
the dispatcher they live in Harveys Lake.
3. The street you live on.
4. Your house number.
5. Other information which can help emergency
personnel find you, such as a nearby landmark.
One of the biggest problems that emergency
personnel sometimes have in the Back Mountain is
finding the location of the emergency.
Many homes in the area, a mix of rural and
suburban communities, aren't numbered, making it
more difficult to find the home where help is needed,
particularly at night.
You can help by displaying you house number
prominently, and lighting it at night.
