    Why it helps on a trip

    The right number, fast. Emergency numbers differ from country to country. If you are in a city abroad and someone needs an ambulance, the number is on screen and one tap away.
    Help that is close by. A twisted ankle or a fever does not need the biggest hospital, just the nearest pharmacy or clinic. Help near me shows what is around you with the distance and directions.
    Your details on paper. A printed card works when your phone battery is flat. Keep it in your wallet with your hotel address and any allergies written in.
    Easy to explain where you are. When you do not know the street name, a shared map link tells others exactly where you are.

    Tips

    • Open the page when you arrive in a new country and save the main number in your phone contacts.
    • Print the emergency card before you travel and fill in allergies and medicines in clear handwriting.
    • Check whether your destination has a tourist police line; officers there often speak English.
    • Location is only used to answer your request and is not saved to any profile.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Local Safety Info free to use?

    Yes. Local Safety Info is free, needs no account and has nothing to install. It works in any phone or computer browser. If you choose Help near me, your location is only used to answer that request and is not saved to any profile. The page guesses your country from your device's time zone, and you can pick any of the 164 countries instead.

    Does 112 work everywhere in Europe?

    Yes, 112 is the common emergency number in every European Union country, and it also works in many other countries in Europe and beyond. You can call it from a landline or a mobile phone, and emergency calls are generally free. Many countries also keep their own national numbers for police, ambulance or fire, so the tool shows those as well.

    What happens if I dial 911 or 112 in a country that uses a different number?

    Many mobile phones and networks redirect common emergency numbers like 112 and 911 to the local emergency service, but this is not guaranteed everywhere. The safest choice is to use the local number for the country you are in. Local Safety Info shows it at the top of the page, and you can tap it to call.

    How does Help near me find hospitals and pharmacies?

    When you tap Help near me, your browser asks for permission to share your location. The tool then looks up the nearest hospitals, pharmacies and police stations in OpenStreetMap data and lists them with the distance and a Go button for directions. Map data is added by volunteers, so opening hours and services can change; call ahead when you can.

    What should I write on an emergency card?

    Write the address and phone number of where you are staying, a contact person at home, your blood type if you know it, any allergies and the medicines you take. The printable card in Local Safety Info has blanks for each of these, plus the emergency numbers for your country. Keep it with your passport or in your wallet.
