I want to collect all numbers for rescue hotlines.
Therefore I need your help.

Pls state the resuce number in a case of an emergency for your country, also what you need to dial if you are on a cel phone, but I assume it will be the same if dialed from a normal phone.


I'll start the list:


Germany:
Rescue (fire+ambulance): 112
Police: 110

USA:
all: 911
