Emergency Numbers

In the US we are familiar with 911 as the emergency number to call. Let’s say you are traveling. Any idea what you should do if there is danger in another country?

For instance:

Australia uses 000 and New Zealand uses 111

Canada is 911 as are the US Territories like Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands

Much of the Caribbean Islands use 911 as well, including Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Bermuda, Bonaire, Belize, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic

Jamaica uses 110 and 119

The EU (European Union) has created a universal number of 112

Russia and Switzerland have also adopted 112

The Philippines uses 166 and 177

The United Kingdom uses 999 and 112

South Africa uses 10177 and 10111
