In an emergency, speed is everything. We've compiled the verified local emergency codes for every sovereign state and major territory to keep you safe while traveling.
While 911 is famous globally due to media, it is not a universal number. However, 112 is the international GSM standard. On most modern mobile networks, dialing 112 will automatically redirect your call to the local emergency services, even if you don't have a local SIM card or if the phone is locked. In the European Union, 112 is the primary number for all services.
Tips for Placing an International Emergency Call
Stay Calm: Speak slowly; many international dispatchers use translation services.
Know Your Location: Give your street address or nearby landmarks immediately.
Mobile vs. Landline: If a local number fails on a landline, try the universal 112 from a mobile phone.
