In an emergency, getting help quickly can be a matter of life or death. But did you know that the phone number you call changes depending on which country you're in?
Many countries use 911 as the emergency number for the police, ambulance and fire department, including the US, Canada and Mexico.
 
But in most of the European Union — including Spain, France and Italy — you call 112 for emergency services. Russia and India also use 112. You can call 112 in Australia if you're using a cellphone, but 000 works from any phone.
 
You can call 112 in the UK too, but 999 is better known — and 999 is also used in Hong Kong, Myanmar and Qatar.
 
Many countries have different numbers for different services. For example, in Japan you call 110 for the police, and 119 for an ambulance or the fire department. South Korea also uses 119 for an ambulance or fire, but it's 112 for the police. In Seoul, there's also a different number for foreigners with medical emergencies — 1339.
 
The emergency phone number in most countries is three digits long, but in South Africa, you have to call 10177 for an ambulance or the fire department. The police number is 10111, but you can also call 112 from a cellphone.
 
🌏Summary
在緊急狀況下，迅速取得救援是攸關生死的事。 但你知道你撥打的號碼，取決於你在哪個國家而有所變化嗎？許多國家以911當作撥給警方、救護車和消防員的號碼，像是美國、加拿大和墨西哥。但在多數的歐盟國家——包含西班牙、法國和義大利——要打給緊急服務得撥112。 999適用於香港、緬甸和卡達。在許多國家，不同的緊急需求服務，號碼也不同。 舉例而言，在日本打給警察要撥110，叫救護車或打給消防隊則是119。 南韓的救護車或消防隊也是打119，但要報警則是打112。
