Segélyhívót

Segélyhívót refers to an emergency phone number or service used to contact emergency responders in Hungary. Similar to 911 in the United States or 112 in many European countries, the primary segélyhívó number in Hungary is 112. This single number connects callers to a dispatcher who can then alert the appropriate services, such as ambulance, fire brigade, or police.

The 112 emergency number is a pan-European standard, ensuring that travelers can access emergency services consistently across member states. When a person calls 112 in Hungary, they will speak with an operator who is trained to assess the situation and determine the nature of the emergency. The operator will then dispatch the necessary assistance.

It is important to use the segélyhívó service only for genuine emergencies. Misuse of the system can delay response times for those in critical need. When calling, it is advisable to remain calm and provide clear, concise information about the location of the emergency and the nature of the problem. Emergency services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
