| WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY? An "Emergency" is an event that poses immediate, significant threat to life and/or property: • A heart attack or stroke is an emergency; a broken finger is not. • A teen threatening his parent is an emergency; a teen refusing to obey his parent is not. • A noise from your neighbor that sounds like a violent physical encounter is an emergency; a noisy party is not. Do CALL 911 for the following (not an complete list) • Traffic accident with known or suspected injuries • Life-threatening medical situations • A fire in your stove, dryer, chimney, or any other part of your home • Fire or smoke from an identified location (not just "a lot of smoke in the air") • In-progress or just-occurred crimes • Domestic violence • Fights, using fists and/or weapons • Earthquake-related injuries or property damage that is life threatening Do NOT call 911 for the following (not a complete list) • Non-injury traffic accident • Directions to hospital or clinic; call the hospital or clinic • Unruly children • Noise disturbances, including parties or loud music • To request the batteries in your smoke detector be changed • To ask if we just had an earthquake or what time it is. • Injured and/or dead animals, call Animal Control (707) 565-7100 • Illegal parking/abandoned vehicles A NOTE ABOUT CELL PHONES Cell-phone calls to 9-1-1 are routed through the CHP dispatch center in Vallejo, CA and have to be transferred back to the County for dispatch, which creates a delay even if answered promptly. In addition, cell phone calls to 9-1-1 often are placed on hold for long periods or are not answered for several minutes. Therefore, it is a good idea to store the Sonoma County Sherriff's dispatch number (707) 565-2121 in your cell phone and use that number when using your cell phone to report emergencies in Sonoma County.
