Just one number

THE EDITOR: Why do we have so many different numbers to call when there is an emergency? Why not use one number, say 911, for all emergencies? Other countries use 911 for all emergencies, including Belize, Panama, Anguilla, Aruba, Barbados and other Caribbean states.

It will be easier for everyone when we have only one number; it makes so much sense. The only emergency number I know offhand is 999 and sometimes nobody answers the phone.

I think the relevant authority should make it mandatory to have one number alone. It is time to take TT to another level.
