In emergencies, dialling 112 is the critical step for getting help. The recognisable, EU-wide emergency number is supported by operators and national Public Safety Answering Point systems, which ensure that the call is properly and efficiently handled.
The EU is making sure that Europeans know that they can dial the same emergency number anywhere in the EU. To raise awareness among Europeans and, in fact, anyone travelling in the EU, each year, February 11th marks ‘112 Day’.
