Statistics

1. "In Los Angeles, a recent audit of the 911 system reveled that about 85% of the 3.6 Million calls a year that flood that system were not actual emergencies."

2. "Nationwide between 50 to 90 percent of the calls to 911 are deemed non-emergencies." 
   Source: Erri Emergency Services Report, August 16, 1997
3. "Last year (1996), an estimated 180,000 calls went unanswered in Los Angeles." That means if 10% of the calls were emergencies then 18,000 true emergency calls were not answered. How many of these died needlessly?

4. In 1996 "the city of New York installed a new $156 million state-of-the-art 911 system only to find out that some callers were being put on hold for as long as eight minutes."

7. "You had less than eight minutes to get help for a cardiac victim". "Every minute that elapses after cardiac arrest lessens your chance for surviving".
