Well, I guess everyone is so familiar with the United States emergency medical services number. The famous 911. It is the number that you can dial for emergency assistance such as fire, police, medical and rescue emergencies. In our country the Philippines, we do have different numbers for such. But we also have a national number similar to the United States 911 and that is 117. What country are you from? Do you have a national number for emergency?

Hi shynepapin. May I know from what country are you from? What is the emergency number of your country. It would be wise if you could share it with us here for information.

I may hope every country has a number for emergencies! Ours is 112 which is a European and national number :)

I have heard about it. I have trained in Netherlands before and the first thing that I noticed was the 211 number on the firetrucks and ambulance. I thought that the number was only for the country at that time. But later on I knew that it was for the whole EU. Well, I guess, such number is widely known by public. What country are you from?
