This is a reference list of police, ambulance, and fire emergency numbers for countries and territories around the world. Many countries also accept 112 or 911 as a backup, even where a different number is listed as the main one. Always confirm the current number with your hotel, airline, or embassy when traveling, since numbers do change over time.
Quick reference
112 works across the European Union and in many other countries, often even without a SIM card.
911 is used across most of North America and parts of the Pacific.
999 is used in the United Kingdom and many former British territories.
000 is used in Australia. 111 is used in New Zealand.
110 (police) and 119 (fire and ambulance) are used in Japan and Taiwan. China uses 110, 120, and 119.

Save the local emergency number in your phone as soon as you arrive somewhere new, rather than relying on internet access during an emergency.
In most European Union countries and many others, 112 works even on a locked screen or without a SIM card.
Speak slowly and clearly, state your exact location first, and describe the type of emergency, police, medical, or fire.
Many countries redirect 911 or 112 to their local number automatically, but this is not guaranteed everywhere, so use the local number when you know it.
Disclaimer
This list is provided for general informational and safety purposes only. Emergency numbers, especially in smaller countries and territories, can change without notice, and some entries reflect the primary listed number rather than every regional variation. Before traveling, confirm the current emergency numbers for your destination through your embassy, airline, hotel, or the destination’s official government website. In a genuine emergency, contact local emergency services immediately using the best number available to you.
