The short answer
How to use official emergency resources when someone may be in immediate danger.
If someone is in immediate danger or is unresponsive, call local emergency services now. In Canada, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Safe Party does not monitor messages and cannot dispatch emergency help.
Stay with the person when it is safe to do so and follow the emergency dispatcher’s instructions.
