Use a landline when there is one nearby.  Dispatchers cannot find a cell phone's exact location.

• Give your specific address.  (ie: Mr. de Butts at 1125 Thomsen Lane 

• Tell them you are Episcopal High School

• When the 1200 N Quaker Lane is locked direct them to 3900 W. Braddock Road entrance.

• If you can, have someone else call the Security number (703) 946-0359 to let security know that emergency vehicles are arriving. Security can then station at the entrance and either direct or escort them to the location, giving us the fastest possible response.

If you call 911 by accident, don't hang up!  They are required by law to touch base with whoever made the call. Our telephone system prevents 911 from calling our numbers back directly so they have to dispatch an officer. To prevent this, just stay on the line, tell them you made a mistake and answer any questions they have.

EHS strongly recommends you register for Smart911 when moving to a new home on campus.

The City of Alexandria has joined the nationwide "Smart911" service, which lets residents, businesses and visitors provide information to 9-1-1 dispatchers in advance of emergencies.

The free Smart911 service allows individuals and businesses to create online safety profiles with home, workplace and mobile phone numbers, along with additional information that would be valuable to dispatchers and first responders during an emergency. This information often includes home or work addresses, details about medical conditions, hazardous materials on the property, pets, and emergency contacts. Users are prompted to update their safety profiles every six months to ensure their information remains accurate. Even with a safety profile, it is still important that 9-1-1 callers, particularly those with mobile phones, provide their current locations to dispatchers at the start of each call.

Smart profiles are kept confidential and secure, and are only available to trained dispatchers in participating 9-1-1 centers across the country. This allows mobile phone users to provide their profile information when they travel, and makes it easy to update profiles with new landline numbers after a move. Smart911 is currently available in more than 1,500 communities in the U.S., across 40 states"
