Knowing emergency numbers while studying abroad is crucial for safety. In most countries, dialing 112 connects you to emergency services, as it is the universal EU emergency number. In the U.S. and Canada, 911 is the primary emergency number. Australia uses 000, while the U.K. relies on 999 or 112.
Research local numbers for police, fire, and medical services in your host country. Save these contacts in your phone and keep a written copy. Register with your embassy for alerts and support. Always confirm region-specific numbers upon arrival, as some areas may have unique codes.
