๐U.S. Emergency Numbers
๋ฏธ๊ตญ์ ์๊ธ ์ ํ๋ฒํธ
One of the hardest things for me to adjust to in Korea is all of the different emergency numbers. I never know who to call in each situation, and itโs even harder to remember them all. In the U.S., no matter what kind of emergency youโre in, you call 911. Weโre taught this from a young age. Whether thereโs a fire, a car accident, or someone breaking into your house, we call 911.

You can call 911 from any phone, even without a phone plan or if your phone is locked. Itโs free to call. When you connect, an operator called a dispatcher will say, โ911, what is your emergency?โ You explain whatโs happening and, most importantly, give your location. Dispatchers start sending help while youโre still talking and usually stay on the phone until responders arrive. Itโs their job to decide whether you need police, firefighters, EMTs, or a combination of the three.

Like in most countries, police and fire services are free. However, ambulance rides often cost money, anywhere from about $400 to $1,500 depending on your insurance. Because of this, youโll sometimes see people choose to drive themselves to the hospital instead of calling for an ambulance.

There are non-emergency numbers for minor issues, like noise complaints or lost pets, but each city has its own number. No one memorizes them; people just look them up. For any real emergency, Americans rely on 911.
