Calling Tips:

1. 110, 120 and 119 are free calls. 110 may be used for all emergencies.  It is the first number to call. Whether 119 or 120 is called depends on the situation.

2. The more details you can provide to the police, the better. At a minimum, you will need to provide your name and location and give a description of the problem. If you don’t know the exact position, tell them the landmarks buildings nearby. If you are in a remote area, you will need to give the name of the town or village. After the call, you should keep your phone on in case they need to call you back. When you see a police car approaching, wave to them actively.

3. After calling 120, first-aid treatment is not encouraged.  Unless you have first-aid training, you should just wait patiently for the doctors to arrive.

4. If you can leave the accident area, please wait for the rescue workers at some obvious places where they can easily find you.
