Read this first

Emergency numbers rarely change, but they do. Confirmed entries were checked against the public list and our own records; reported entries come from the public list, which cites embassy and government pages. For a long stay, check the number with your hotel, your embassy or the country's official emergency service. This is general information, not medical or legal advice.

Before you call

112 and 911 on a mobile phone

In the European Union, and in many other countries, 112 connects from any mobile phone, even without a SIM card or credit. In North America, 911 does. Many other countries forward one to the local number, but not all: use the local number if you know it.

Say where you are first

Give the exact place before anything else: street, nearest crossing or landmark, and the town. If the line drops, the operator can call back or send help to that place.

Language

Many emergency lines have English-speaking operators, but not all. Speak slowly, use short words and the name of the service you need: police, ambulance, fire.

Save your embassy's number as well

Your embassy cannot send an ambulance, but it can help if you lose your passport, are arrested or are the victim of a crime. Write the number on paper and keep it away from your phone.

Numbers change

Countries sometimes merge or renumber their services. Check with your hotel, your embassy or the national emergency service's official site before a long stay.
