Understanding Emergencies?

An emergency is when:

  • Someone is hurt
  • There is a fire
  • Something wrong takes place
  • Someone is very sick
  • There is danger around

When things go wrong, keeping a clear head matters most. Reach out to help using the right phone line if trouble strikes.

Emergency Contacts Every Child Should Know India

Emergency response unit – one hundred

Police 100 when:

  • Someone is in danger
  • There is theft or robbery
  • Someone is fighting or causing harm
  • You feel unsafe

Safety comes first when officers walk the streets. Keeping rules clear matters just as much as stopping trouble before it grows.

Fire Brigade 101

Call 101 when:

  • There is a fire
  • Smoke is coming from a building
  • Someone is trapped in fire

When flames rise, crews move fast to douse them, pulling folks to safety. Smoke clears, voices call, boots hit pavement - help arrives before fear settles deep.

🚑 Ambulance – 108

Call 108 when:

  • A person has suffered serious injuries
  • There is a medical emergency
  • Someone faints or is unconscious
  • A serious accident happens

Faster than most transport, ambulances move sick people straight to medical centers.

Emergency Help Number 112

112 is a single emergency number for:

  • Police
  • Fire
  • Ambulance

A number sticks better when it's short. That one? Simple to recall during tough moments.

👩‍⚕️ Women Helpline – 181 / 1091

Call when:

  • A woman is in danger
  • A hand reaches out when shadows grow too close. Protection shows up without asking first. Help arrives before it is spoken aloud

Child Helpline 1098

Call 1098 when:

  • A child has gone missing
  • A kid might be harmed or not safe
  • A child needs help

A child gets this number just for them. It works differently than others do.

Children's Actions in Emergencies

Kids should:

  • Stay calm
  • Dial the right digits
  • Speak clearly
  • Start off by sharing who they are along with where they’re based
  • Follow instructions

Stay calm. Someone arrives soon.

When Kids Should Not Use Emergency Numbers?

Kids should not call emergency numbers:

  • Just because it feels right. Sometimes laughter shows up without warning. Not everything needs a reason to begin with
  • Without any danger
  • To disturb others

When wrong alarms go off, real emergencies might wait too long. Help meant for urgent cases gets delayed because of mistakes made by others.

Knowing emergency numbers helps in urgent situations

Knowing emergency numbers helps kids:

  • Stay safe
  • Help family members
  • Act responsibly
  • Feel confident

Sure, being able to handle things on your own matters a lot when living day to day.

What Kids Should Remember

  • Emergency numbers save lives
  • Only when true risk appears
  • Stay calm and speak clearly
  • Memorize important numbers
  • Safety comes first

Conclusion

When trouble strikes, quick help matters. A kid who remembers 100 for police can act fast. The fire brigade arrives at 101 - good to know when smoke rises. If someone gets hurt, dialing 108 brings aid. Knowing whom to call builds confidence in young minds. Safety starts with a number saved in memory. Growing up means understanding how to respond when things go wrong.

  • Police – 100
  • Fire – 101
  • Ambulance – 108
  • All Emergencies – 112
