How do I know if it's an emergency?
If you're in doubt and you're not sure, and if you think that it's probably an emergency, then we're happy to rate it as an emergency. The software, the controllers and the primary control would determine it from the information coming in. If in doubt, call if you think it's an emergency, because we can then downgrade and put it on a lower category. If anyone's unconscious or haemorrhaging badly, then they're emergencies. Equally, medical emergencies happen and are very hard for the public to identify with. If you're in doubt, call.
