Public Education

 

Not just a voice on the other end of the telephone line...

 

Fire Prevention Week

 

The Hood River County 911 center, in partnership with the local fire service agencies, provides 911 education to area school children in grades K - 2.  The children learn about 911, when to use it and how to call.  As well as what they can expect from the dispatcher on the other end of the phone line when they need to call for help.  The education contains a short video, followed by a discussion session.  The children and the teachers receive this education very well and is quite fun for the dispatchers to interact with the children. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hood River County Fair

 

During the Hood River County Fair the 911 center helps staff the Sheriff's Office trailer at the fairgrounds.  There are several different kinds of information available for the public and someone there to answer any questions that people may have.  This is a great opportunity for the dispatchers to get out and interact with the public and provide some education.
