Since always, emergencies represented a big interest for people.  If we pay attention at the force of the nature, we realize that man is helpless in front of nature’s power. Storms, floods, earth quakes, fires and so on.



That’s why people created emergency phone numbers, to help people announce faster their problems to authorities. Every country has it own emergency phone number, which everyone should know by heart. In the U.S this number is 911 and in Europe is 112.



People should know that they can call emergency phone numbers only in case of emergency. A fake problem alerts many people that in this way loose their time, precious time that elsewhere can save a life. This kind of fake calls are registered and the person that made the phone call receives a penalty from the authorities, in order to prevent happening this situation.

We should get used to first aid in case of emergency, to know how to react and what to do, in case a person gets sick, or a fire starts, or two cars crash. All of us know that first thing to do is to call the emergency phone number. In this way, we save time, so that authorities can do their job. When you call 911 or 112, you should know that an operator will take your call and listen to your problem. He will decide what emergency do you have and will send to you the police, the ambulance or the firemen.



The requested help has to come very soon, like 5-10 minutes, but based on your location, it may be a little late, but don’t panic, because the phone operator will tell you what to do. You will be able in this way to give the first aid, even if you never did it before. If a person next to you suffers a heart attack, the operator will tell you to release her airways, in order to breath as better as she can. Then you have to do a heart massage, to restart the stopped heart. If you’re lucky and did your job with attention, you may keep alive the person until specialists are arriving.

Even if they are called for emergencies, people from police or fire workers can face out difficulties on the way, but they always try to do their best to fix the problem you have.

Because there are created for emergencies, to call the emergency phone numbers doesn’t cost anything, so that you don’t think that you have to pay to ask police’s help, for example. If you need a policeman, a fireman or a doctor means that your problem is serious and you need help.

In this moment all phone companies provide this free service, so that everyone can call these numbers to solve their problem.
