VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Knowing your location “is more important than ever,” 9-1-1 operators say.
When you call emergency services, don’t expect operators to know where you are, especially if you’re calling on a cell phone.
“With more people using mobiles only and social media geotagging and delivery apps that show location in real-time, E-Comm is concerned that there’s a potentially dangerous public misconception that cellphones provide an exact address or location to 9-1-1 call takers,” E-Comm writes in a release.
