911 is the official national emergency number in the United States and Canada. Dialing 911 quickly connects you to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) emergency dispatcher trained to route your call to local emergency medical, fire, and law enforcement agencies. Enhanced 911 (or E911) takes this one step further. E911 like that supported by Bright House Networks enables the dispatcher to automatically identify the phone number and address of the person who is calling.
