Thank you! The fact that they're coming while you talk gives makes me feel a lot better

Thank god! I have been waiting for this

Sometimes I see stories about a kid dialing 911 and hanging up and the police still do a check up. Then i see a story where the poor person who is panicking has to give their name, age address blah blah.

I want to know. If I'm in an emergency situation and I don't know the address and I call 911 with my cell phone, will they know where I am? This is my fear when walking alone at night as a woman. I rarely know the address of where I am.

Also, when the dispatcher is asking all these questions, are they simultaneously sending someone my way or are they waiting for me to be done giving my name and situation to send someone?

Like, could I dial 911 and tell them I need an ambulance and then hangup (let's say I'm trying to save someone from drowning or whatever) Is there a reason we have to stay on the phone?
