PBRPC has plenty of 9-1-1 Public Education materials which
are available to local fire agencies, EMS agencies and PSAPs
for general public distribution. Materials include: pencils,
pens, crayons, activity books, thumb bands, Cell Phone Sally
costume, 9-1-1 phone simulator and various other items. Public
education materials are provided to residents in the region
through school presentations, fairs, parades, or workshops.
Cell Phone Sally, the 9-1-1 Mascot, is available to appear
at these planned events. Information is available in both
English and Spanish.
"9-1-1 for Kids is the foundation for all disaster and
emergency preparedness and response training. Just like recycling,
successful public education programs often take root in schools
with students effectively carrying critical information home
to family members, neighbors, friends and new acquaintances.
9-1-1 for Kids has proven since 1994 to have exceptional effective
results."
