Help On Hand
It’s that time of year when AngloINFO sends out the annual newsletter on emergency numbers. Even if you’ve lived in a place for ages and know how things work, it’s easy to panic and forget everything when you’re caught off-guard by the unexpected. Knowing what to do and who to call can really make the difference in an emergency situation.
SOS EMERGENCY
The European-wide emergency number is 112. This can be used in any country in the EU, and dialled from any telephone (even a public pay phone - without the use of a phone card or coins). Make sure that children also know this number and how to call it.
To find out how best to use 112 for the quickest results and to get contact information for other urgent situations, see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Pages on:
These pages explain support and emergency services and detail the essential contacts for police, fire and medical responders, as well as other kinds of emergency help such as vets and sea rescue.
If you need to find these details in a hurry, see the right-side menu
of any page on AngloINFO: look for
"Emergencies" under the main heading, "Essential Information".
And then, of course, it's always useful to know what to do in the case of lost or stolen credit cards, cheque book or mobile telephones. If you've been robbed, lost a bag or simply misplaced something,
here's where you can find out who to call to put a stop on your cards or phone as quickly as possible:
