Know the Emergency Number When You Travel
📞 In the UK, it’s 999 / 112 for emergencies and 111 for non-urgent medical advice.
If you are travelling abroad, it is important to know that emergency phone numbers may be different in other countries.
In many European countries you can dial 112 to reach emergency services such as the police, ambulance, or fire brigade.
Outside Europe, the number may change- for example 911 in the United States and Canada, 000 in Australia, and 111 in New Zealand.
Before travelling, it is a good idea to check the local emergency number so you know how to get help quickly if needed. 🌍📞🚑
Tip: Save the number in your phone before you go – it could make all the difference if something happens abroad.”
