Häirekeskusesse

Häirekeskusesse is the Estonian term for an emergency response center. These centers are crucial public safety entities responsible for receiving and processing emergency calls, coordinating response efforts, and dispatching the appropriate emergency services. When a person calls the common emergency number in Estonia, which is 112, their call is routed to a häirekeskus. Trained dispatchers then assess the situation, gather necessary information, and determine the nature and urgency of the emergency.

The primary function of a häirekeskus is to ensure a rapid and effective response to incidents such as medical emergencies, fires, and crimes. Dispatchers work closely with police, ambulance services, and fire departments, relaying critical information and coordinating their movements. They act as a vital link between the public in distress and the professionals who can provide assistance. Estonia has several häirekeskus locations strategically placed to cover different regions of the country, ensuring prompt service nationwide. The efficiency and professionalism of häirekeskus personnel are paramount to saving lives and minimizing damage during emergencies.
