9-1-1 is the nationwide emergency number for the United States. If you have an emergency, or think you have an emergency, call 9-1-1. All 9-1-1 centers in Massachusetts are capable of receiving TTY calls and calls from non-English speaking callers.

If you call 9-1-1 by accident, please do not hang up. Stay on the line and notify the Telecommunicator of the error.
