Please Don’t Spread the 112 instead of 911 Postings!

I feel kind of funny posting yet another public service blog but these are things that I find very important!  Recently there have been all sorts of social media postings about how the new emergency # is 112 and it is more efficient then 911.  I have been telling family and friends that I know that it is not true and asking the questions why would we add another number?  Below is a link to an article put out by NENA talking about this very subject.  Please pass it onto anyone you think might benefit from it.

As with any postings of warnings and OMG stories I find it a good rule of thumb to check them out on http://www.snopes.com.  So far this has been a pretty good site in finding out the origins of these emails and if they are worth giving a second thought to.  One of my favorites is the email / social posting about how many spiders a person swallows while they are sleeping.  NOT TURE but it is very funny 🙂
