  • 112 Common European emergency number
  • 150 Fire department
  • 155 Ambulance

We can also request help via SMS or using the Záchranka mobile app.

Information for the operator

  • Where it happened (exact address).
  • What happened.
  • Who is calling (our name).

Never hang up first.

If we don’t know our exact location, we tell the operator the number on the nearest street lamp, the number on a railway crossing, or describe what we see around us (a shop, school, bridge, etc.).

If we or our loved ones need psychological support or someone to talk to during a difficult situation, we can call a crisis helpline:

  • First Psychological Aid Line: +420 116 123 (nonstop, free)
  • Safety Line for children and students up to 26 years old: +420 116 111 (nonstop, free)
  • Senior Helpline: +420 800 157 157 (nonstop, free)
