I've got an emergency!  What to do now?
Try to stay calm and make sure you have these details ready:

1. The nature of the emergency;
2. Exact location of the incident (including nearby landmarks); and
3. The details about any injuries.

Remember: never hang up until you are told to do so.

Nationwide Emergency Response - 10111 
​Dial the telephone number 10111 from anywhere in South Africa and a call centre operator will answer the incoming call, take all necessary particulars and assign the complaint to a Flying Squad patrol vehicle, or the local police station, to attend the incident.

Cell phone emergency - 112

For emergencies, you can call 112 from any cell phone in South Africa. You will then reach a call centre and they will route you to an emergency service closest to you.  This can be for any type of emergency, from fires to ambulance requirement.
​When you dial this number you will reach an automated menu. Don't let this frustrate you. The menu acts as a form of triage (priority of treatment) control and filters out abuse of the medical and emergency system.
It's very easy to get caught up in distress but remember to stay calm and make sure the emergency medical services team knows exactly how to reach you.
