Emergency

Is it urgent? Call 112

112 is Sweden's national emergency number. You should call this number when:

  • it is an acute danger to life and you need an ambulance

  • there is an acute danger to property

  • there is an acute danger to the environment

  • you see an ongoing crime

  • there is a wildlife accident with moose, deer, wild boar, bear, wolf, wolverine lynx, otter, eagle or mouflon sheep

112 - must be used in emergency situations when there is a danger to life, property or the environment. An emergency situation is when you quickly need help from an ambulance, rescue service, police, air, sea, mountain rescue, on-duty priest or poison information.

When dialing 112 from your mobile phone or landline, the call will be directed to your closest Emergency Centre (Larmcentral). SOS Alarm's operators speak both Swedish and English and we have access to an interpreter for communication in most languages.
