What to do during a medical emergency:

• Call Roanoke City EMS at 9-911 (in-house) or 911 (cell phone).
  
  
• Give the dispatcher as much information as possible regarding the nature of the injury/illness and whether or not the victim is conscious.
  
  
• DO NOT hang up until directed to do so by the dispatcher, so that the information can be forwarded to the emergency personnel.
  
  
• After making the emergency call:
  — Return to the victim.
  —  Keep the victim as calm and comfortable as possible.
  — Remain with the victim until emergency personnel arrive.
