Safety is no accident

It takes a lot of training and nerves of steel to do what these men and women do. #salute to the men and women of the ESU #nypd #ESU #backtheblue

Public works is often considered “the silent arm of public safety” … usually without fanfare. Public works professionals are often the first on scene and the last to leave the scenes of disasters—no matter the peril. While police, fire, and EMS are often the three most recognized first responders, public works is also often silently there—providing vital support to emergency response partners, helping protect essential services, and restoring those services following an emergency. 💪🚧 🌟 #PublicWorksHeroes #EssentialSupport #SilentHeroes

Hit in a pedestrian-related accident? The first action is to call the police: to document the scene and to help with immediate emergency assistance. Here, Kevin describes what the victim needs to consider in this situation.

🎆As you set your New Year's resolutions, consider adding this to your list: 📱ONLY call 9-1-1 in event of a life-threatening emergency. 🚨Prank and non-emergency call to 9-1-1 could cause a delay for someone who needs immediate emergency assistance from police, fire, or medical responder. Please remember calling 9-1-1 is NOT a joke. #newyears #newyearresolutions #callifyoucantexifyoucant #ghc911 #newyearseve #safetyfirst #911saveslives

🎆Calling 9-1-1 for illegal fireworks could cause delays for someone who needs immediate emergency assistance from police, fire, or medical responder. 📞Instead, call your local non-emergency number for police, sheriff, or fire.

Reliable communications within the Public Safety sector are vital for First Responders. Fire and police departments, along with emergency medical services, all rely on the Public Safety communication network in coordinating their response. It is often the difference between life and death. #PublicSafety #FirstResponders #EmergencyCommunications
