Emergency number by country

These are the established national numbers. They rarely change, but if you are moving somewhere or travelling, confirm them locally, for example on arrival at your hotel. Your location is used only to find the country.

β€œβ€”β€ means there is no single number for all services: call the one for the service you need.

When you call

  • Say where you are first. If you do not know the address, give a landmark, or read out the coordinates from My Location.
  • Say which service you need and what has happened.
  • Answer the questions and follow the instructions; help is often already being sent while you talk.
  • Do not hang up until the operator tells you to.

Frequently asked questions

Is there one international emergency number?

No single number works everywhere, but 112 comes closest: it works in every EU country and in many others, and most mobile phones sold in Europe treat 112 as an emergency number. In North America the number is 911.

Does 911 work in Europe, or 112 in the US?

In the US and Canada, dialling 112 on many mobile phones connects to 911, but this depends on the phone and the network. In Europe, 911 is not an emergency number in most countries. Learn the local number before you travel.

Can I call the emergency number without a SIM or credit?

In most countries, yes: mobile phones can call 112 or the local emergency number with no credit, and in many with no SIM card, using any available network. The UK and some other countries do not accept calls from phones without a SIM.

What if I cannot speak?

Stay on the line and make a noise, tap the phone or answer questions by pressing keys if asked. In the UK, the "Silent Solution" lets you press 55 to show the call is genuine. Several countries also accept emergency texts after a one-time registration.
