If you’re in an emergency situation abroad, you’ll need to know how to contact the police, an ambulance, or even the fire department.
In many countries, dialing either 1-1-2 (used in Europe and parts of Asia) or 9-1-1 (used in the Americas) will connect callers to the local emergency services. Some countries use other emergency telephone numbers. Some but not necessarily all emergency numbers are listed below.
