Yes 911 for an emergency, but 211 could lead you to a lot of resources for your own solutions.
Who would you call for help? Your church...a friend....someone in city hall?

Neighbor

I'd call my neighbor as we stick up for each other.

Depends on the emergency

The first person I would contact for my teenage sons would be someone from Hasbro Children's Hospital. They are extremely responsive to a child's needs. If my wife or elderly relatives were ill, I would immediately dial 911 for transport to Memorial or Miriam Hospitals as they did a good job with my 93 year old grandmother and my wife, respectively.

I'd call friends

Friends and neighbors before 911 and 211 would be a cool try.
