How to make an emergency call count

Stay calm and speak clearly. Panic wastes seconds.
Say WHAT happened — fire, accident, medical, flood, crime.
Say WHERE you are — exact address, barangay, and a nearby landmark. This is the most important detail.
Say HOW MANY people are involved and if anyone is injured or trapped.
Don't hang up until the operator tells you to. Follow their instructions.
Save your local barangay and city hotlines too — your barangay can often respond fastest.

Save these before you need them

The best time to save these numbers is today — not during an emergency. Add 911 and your barangay hotline to your phone's favorites, and tell your kids and lolo/lola how to call for help. With Nova, you also get free real-time alerts so you know about typhoons, floods, and quakes before they reach you.

Verify numbers anytime on official sources: gov.ph, Philippine Red Cross, NDRRMC. Hotlines can change — when in doubt, dial 911.
