Santa Monica 9-1-1 Education Series

​As you know, most emergencies start with a 9-1-1 call. Making that call in an emergent situation can be a stressful process. The Santa Monica Office of Emergency Management’s public safety communication team has created a video series to educate Santa Monica residents, employees, and visitors about reporting emergencies and other Santa Monica service requests:
