Emergencies can also happen abroad. In this case, it is important to be focused and respond quickly by calling the necessary rescue services. We recommend memorizing the contacts of the most important services that will be useful abroad.


Emergency assistance to the population


Each country of the European Union has a single emergency line - 112. If you forget the phone number of a specific service in the country where you are, call 112. 


Poland


The country that has received the most Ukrainian refugees has an extensive emergency assistance system. Depending on the situation, choose where to go:


 Ambulance (Pogotowie Ratunkowe) - 999

 Fire Department (Straż Pożarna) - 998

 Police (Policja) - 997

 Emergency water supply service (Pogotowie Wodociągowe) - 994

You can call the police directly by dialing 110. This line is available around the clock and operators speak both German and English.
