What to do in an emergency
You can dial 999 (the UK emergency number) or 112 (the international distress number) in this country to call the emergency services. These numbers are free to call, but for emergencies only. If you call them you will be asked which service you need: Police, Fire, Ambulance or Coastguard. You will be asked your name (which you don't have to give), where you are calling from, the location of the emergency and what has happened or is currently happening.
In an emergency (for example, fire, flood, explosion or any weather-related or security incident) obey the instructions of anyone identifi able as a member of the emergency services or any other government authority.
