Nobody wants to think about emergencies on holiday, but knowing what to say in Italian during a medical situation, theft, or accident can be the difference between a quick resolution and a prolonged ordeal. In this lesson you will learn essential emergency vocabulary, how to get medical help, and how to deal with the police.
| Number | Service |
|---|---|
| 112 | General emergency number (Carabinieri — works for all emergencies) |
| 113 | Polizia di Stato (State Police) |
| 115 | Vigili del Fuoco (Fire Brigade) |
| 118 | Emergenza sanitaria (Medical Emergency / Ambulance) |
