do you think we can use the same emergency number in the world?

In portugal is the 112

I think it could be made an emergency number for the entire world

I dont think so. Every country has its own emergency numbers. Like in my country 166 is for police.

no we u different

The emergency number in Australia is 000, however they have made it now that if you dial 911 you will be diverted to 000 as they had too many people dialling the american number after the show emergency 911 was aired here.

we just use 911 that gets us whomever we need

In India its 100 for Police. Also it’s great Idea to a common number of emergency for World but I don't think its possible for all countries due to their economy and surround environment.

I guess we could...not sure though!

In China, these are the general knowledge which the children all knew.Let's listen to other national friends' views.

yeh did you ever notice that in america the emergency number is 911 the same day as the terroist(9/11) attacks...hmmm

I do not think so different country has different emergency number

It is 911 in the United States for everything (though many cities have a police non-emergency number as well).

well it can also be 100 for police 101 for fire brigade and 102 for ambulance as in INDIA

Well, I think that can be done but it would be so much hassle considering that many countries have already established their own emergency number. But we do have a worldwide number for emergency. That number can be dialed using any mobile phone even without a sim card. You can try it out with your mobile phone and there is no charge at all. That number is 112. One you dial that number, it will direct you to your national number for emergency. Like if your are in the United States and you dial 112 it will advise you to call 911 or direct you to 911. If you are in other countries, then it will direct you to the country's Emergency Medical Services Number.
