Worldwide • Emergency Help • Quick Access • Accessible Pathways
Fast access to a small set of commonly needed emergency numbers, plus country search, alternative communication options and broader worldwide crisis pathways.
If someone’s life, health or safety is at immediate risk, use the emergency number for the country you are in, go to the nearest emergency department, or ask a safe person nearby to contact emergency services.
Go to Emergency Numbers ↓You do not need to read this whole page. Start with the country or region closest to where you are. If speaking is difficult, use an official text, relay, AAC, interpreter, support-person or other accessible emergency option where available.
Open Text & Chat Crisis Support →Aspie Answers provides education, signposting and supportive information. Emergency numbers, crisis services, access methods and availability can change by country or region. This page is not a replacement for emergency care, medical advice, therapy, safeguarding, legal advice or professional crisis assessment. Check an official local emergency source where possible and, in an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service for the place you are in.

Emergency assistance from police, fire or ambulance services.
112 is the emergency number available everywhere in the EU, free of charge.
Do not assume that 112, 911 or another familiar number will work everywhere. Use the country or regional pathway below, or Crisis Support by Location, to find the correct local emergency route.
Open Crisis Support by Location →Give the address, landmark, road, building, room, floor or other location information you know.
Use short, clear words. Say what has happened and whether the danger is still happening now.
Say if someone is injured, missing, unable to stay safe, having trouble breathing or needs urgent medical care.
It is okay to keep the message simple. Give your location first if you can, then explain the immediate danger. Follow the call-taker’s instructions and stay on the line unless you are told to hang up.
Search the quick-access cards by country, region or emergency number. If your country is not listed here, use Crisis Support by Location or the Global Crisis Directory.
Emergency: 111
Emergency: 000
Emergency: 999 or 112

Emergency help can look different across countries. Use the safest available communication method where you are.
Speaking may be unsafe, inaccessible or overwhelming. Use the emergency communication option available in your country.
