Dialing 911 is an important skill for every child to learn. But how can you teach a child to dial 911 without making the actual call? By using this book, children will learn how and when to dial 911...and what to say to the 911 Operator. This book also includes an "I Know My Address" Chart, a siren sound and a fanfare to let your child know when he or she dials 911 correctly.
Communications center operators routinely take 911 and other calls from frightened people, and offer them strength and comfort while emergency crews respond, but a widespread or devastating attack could require special actions. Veterans of emergency services provide information that communications center staff members need to help prepare for, respond to, and recover from a terrorist event.

From the #1 bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia, the landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.
