A special thanks to all Emergency Services
PAN EUROPEAN EMERGENCY NUMBER 112
A due thank you note to all Emergency Services
#112Day2022 #thankyouchain
On the occasion of the European Emergency Number 112 Day, which was established in 2009 to be celebrated every year on 11 February across Europe, Civil Defence wishes to welcome the widespread use of 112 to call for help in case of danger or emergency by Cypriots and European citizens alike. The specific date (11/2) was chosen as it forms the 112 emergency number.
Civil Defence is the contact point in Cyprus with the European Union for the 112 number. Knowledge of the Pan-European Number 112 is considered important, as in cases of emergencies, knowledge of local numbers is not required.
The Cyprus Police is the essential service that handles 112, referring calls, depending on the incident, to the relevant emergency services, such as the Ambulance Service and the Fire Service.
This year also marks 31 years since the introduction of 112 as the common pan-European emergency number for all citizens.
