If you ever need to dial 9-1-1, the most important thing you can do is know where you are? Do you know the address of your local supermarket? How about your Dry Cleaners? Or your elementary school? Today, in a mobile society, we tend to take things for granted. In the Los Angeles area, there are many duplicate sounding places. There is a 2nd Street in Santa Monica; a 2nd Street in downtown L.A.; a 2nd Street in San Pedro - so if you can't say exactly where you are, the 9-1-1 dispatcher and safety officer will have a difficult time getting resources to you in a timely fashion.
