hädaabikutsung

Hädaabikutsung is an Estonian term that translates to "emergency call" or "distress call". It refers to the act of contacting emergency services when a person is in a situation that requires immediate assistance. This typically involves situations where life, health, property, or the environment is in danger.

In Estonia, the primary emergency number is 112. This single number connects callers to police, ambulance, rescue services, and fire departments. When dialing 112, it is crucial to provide clear and accurate information to the dispatcher. This includes the exact location of the incident, the nature of the emergency, and any relevant details about the people involved.

Emergency calls can be made from any phone, including landlines and mobile phones, and are generally free of charge. It is important to only dial 112 in genuine emergency situations to ensure that resources are available for those in critical need. Misuse of the emergency number can lead to penalties.

The purpose of a hädaabikutsung is to facilitate a rapid response from the appropriate emergency services. The dispatcher will assess the situation and dispatch the necessary personnel and equipment to provide aid. Prompt and effective communication during a hädaabikutsung is vital for saving lives and mitigating damage.
