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.
