HALLOWELL – The Maine Public Utilities Commission has launched a public information campaign to educate Mainers about calling and texting 911 in an emergency. Two 30-second public service announcements will began airing statewide in August.
In one PSA, a heart attack emergency is dramatized with a woman calling 911 on her cell phone. This commercial reminds viewers to remain calm and provide answers to three critical questions: What phone number are you calling from? What is the address of the emergency? Exactly what happened?
