What the data says

112 is common, not universal. 114 of 250 countries and territories don't list it anywhere — including Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Bangladesh and most of the Caribbean.
Getting through isn't the same as getting help fast. In 62 countries 112 is the general line, but police answer a different number — France routes 17/15/18, Germany 110 for police.
One number per country is the exception. In 147 countries police, ambulance and fire are genuinely different numbers. Saving a single number per country is not enough.
There are 114 distinct emergency numbers in use worldwide. The long tail is real: 100, 102, 101, 129, 127, 128, 17, 14 and dozens more.

Why this page exists

This started as a bug. Routibly shows travellers country basics for wherever they're going, and the emergency block had been generated rather than sourced. France and Germany listed 112 for everything — correct, and useless, because the numbers people actually dial are 17/15/18 and 110. Most countries had police, ambulance and fire collapsed into a single number. French Southern Territories had the literal string "No Permanent Population" sitting in the ambulance field.

Emergency numbers are the one field where being wrong matters beyond a wasted afternoon, and no amount of confidence scoring helps because there is no signal to grade. So we rebuilt the whole block from a source that cites itself, and put the result here for free.

Method & caveats

Numbers come from Wikidata property P2852 (emergency phone number) on items carrying an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, with the service taken from the has use qualifier and deprecated statements skipped. It is structured, per-statement-referenced data rather than prose scraped off a page, which is what makes it re-runnable. It is still crowd-maintained: treat it as a strong default, not gospel, and confirm locally before you travel. A few disputed territories have no entry and render grey. Last rebuilt 2026-08-30.

Where this comes from

Routibly turns a destination and your dates into a day-by-day trip plan — what to see, when to see it, and how to get from stop to stop. The country basics on this page ship with every itinerary it builds, alongside typical weather for your dates, opening hours, travel times between stops and local phrases.
