Chipiona assumes that its citizens will have about an hour between an earthquake and a tsunami. Information boards explain what a tsunami is and what to do if one is coming.

"There's a lot of distractions when you drive an ambulance. They do serious work - but how could they not stop?"

When cell towers are damaged or overloaded, phones work harder to stay connected, using up more power. Weak signals, frequent reconnecting, and increased activity from the phone's modem are among the main reasons the battery does not last as long in these situations.

Two people have been taken to the hospital on Monday after possibly being exposed to hazardous materials in Alameda, officials said. Evacuations are underway at an apartment complex along the 700 block of Santa Clara Ave.

Across the country, emergency call centers are short-staffed, underfunded, and losing dispatchers faster than they can replace them. A 2023 survey found that one in four 911 positions nationwide is vacant, and 36% of centers reported having fewer positions filled in 2022 than in 2019. Martinez explains to Business Insider how dispatchers decide who gets help first for police, ambulance, and fire services, why they sometimes have to drop one call to save another, and the "caller hacks" that can literally save your life.

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.
