Emergency contacts abroad
Police, ambulance, and fire numbers for the 50 destinations in the v1.0 dataset. Verified at dataset freeze; always confirm on the ground. Save the relevant numbers to your phone contacts and lock screen before departure.
Before you travel
- Save police, ambulance, and your destination's nearest embassy/consulate to your phone's contacts AND your lock screen (medical-ID feature on iOS, emergency-info on Android).
- Note that 112 works across the EU and many adjacent countries. 911 works across North America. Local numbers below for everywhere else.
- Your travel insurance provider has a 24/7 emergency line on your policy card — call that for medical evacuation arrangements, not the local ambulance.
- For US citizens, enroll in STEP to receive country-specific alerts from the embassy.
Lockscreen Wallpaper Generator
Create an Emergency ICE wallpaper for your phone's lock screen. It displays local emergency numbers and your ICE contact so first responders can access them offline without unlocking your phone.

FAQ
How are these numbers verified?
Each country's police, ambulance, and fire numbers were verified at dataset v1.0 freeze (2026-05-13) by cross-referencing the relevant government tourism/embassy pages and the standardized country-emergency-number directories. They do not currently auto-update from a live API. Confirm on the ground — local SIM purchase or hotel reception is the fastest verification.
Why don't you use a live emergency-number API?
Live emergency-number APIs exist (EmergencyNumberAPI is the most-cited) but we don't currently ingest one. The numbers below were consulted at v1.0 dataset freeze and are stable for most destinations (most countries do not change their emergency numbers more than once a decade). Live ingestion is on the v1.1 roadmap.
What about the US embassy or consulate?
For US citizens, the US Department of State maintains country-specific embassy and consulate contact info at travel.state.gov. The State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is the cleanest way to register your trip and get country-specific alerts. Many countries also have walk-in services for emergency passports if yours is lost or stolen.
What if 112 doesn't connect?
112 is the EU-wide emergency number and is broadly recognized across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. If 112 doesn't connect, try the country-specific police number listed below. On mobile, the call should connect even without active service on your SIM (emergency calls bypass carrier auth). Roaming-data is not required.
What this tool does NOT do
It does not contact emergency services for you, does not work offline (network connection required to load), does not show real-time emergency-service wait times, and does not provide medical evacuation arrangements. For those, contact your travel insurance provider's 24/7 emergency line — the number is on your policy card.
