When You Call Emergency Services - Medical
- Stay calm. Breathe slow.
- Speak clearly—for example: "Fire in the kitchen!" or "My friend is choking!"
- Tell them where you are—for example: "I'm at 123 Oak Street, apartment 4B" or "By the gas station on Highway 5."
- Answer their questions quick—no long stories.
- If you're hurt or can't talk, just stay on—they'll find you.
- Don't hang up until they say "okay."
- Never prank call. Most spoofing is caught or can be figured out—your location gets tracked anyway. Swatting or fake calls? You can go to jail, face big fines, or worse—severe penalties in most countries, even death penalty in some. Don't do it.

No central number—depends on your station. At U.S. bases (like McMurdo): 911 (connects to on-site comms/fire/medical). Other stations: use your base's internal line or satellite phone. Try 112 or 999 if nothing else works—it might route somewhere.
