Emergency Contacts

In an emergency, having quick access to the right contact information can make an important difference in safety, response time, and overall outcomes. Whether you are dealing with a medical crisis, a natural disaster, a household emergency, or a travel-related problem, knowing who to call and how to reach them ensures that help arrives as quickly as possible. Because emergency services vary by location, it is essential to have accurate, up-to-date information for your specific country, state, and county.

This section of The Emergency Guide provides a comprehensive directory of emergency contacts organized by region. You will find national emergency numbers, local non-emergency lines, utility companies, disaster assistance agencies, poison control centers, roadside assistance options, public health departments, and other critical resources. Each listing is arranged by country, then by state or province, and finally by county or local jurisdiction to help you find the correct contact quickly and without confusion.

In addition to emergency numbers, this guide explains the types of situations each contact is designed to handle. You will learn when to call local law enforcement rather than national services, how to reach specialized agencies during natural disasters, and how to use local hotlines for health, housing, or welfare concerns. The section also includes tips for creating your own personalized contact list, storing numbers on your devices, and ensuring that family members, children, and caregivers know how to access help when needed.

Whether you are preparing your household emergency plan or responding to an urgent situation, this section is designed to help you connect with the right assistance as quickly and effectively as possible. With clear guidance and organized information, you can feel more confident knowing that the support you need is always within reach.
