Help On Hand
It’s that time of year when AngloINFO sends out the annual newsletter on emergency numbers. Even if you’ve lived in a place for ages and know how things work, it’s easy to panic and forget everything when you’re caught off-guard by the unexpected. Knowing what to do and who to call can really make the difference in an emergency situation.
SOS EMERGENCY
The European-wide emergency number is 112. This can be used in any country in the EU, and dialled from any telephone (even a public pay phone - without the use of a phone card or coins). Make sure that children also know this number and how to call it.
To find out how best to use 112 for the quickest results, see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Pages on:
These pages explain the emergency services and details the essential contacts for police, fire and medical responders, as well as other kinds of emergency help and crisis support.
If you need to find these details in a hurry see the right-side menu
of any page on AngloINFO: look for
"Emergencies" under the main heading, "Essential Information".
With the potential danger of exposure to summer heat waves, the French government issues updated warnings and provides information through the
Canicule Info Service (Tel: 0800 06 66 66; it's a free call). For
a summary of the alert levels, see the INFOrmation Page on:
