WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY?

When you call an emergency number in Spain, you should follow these tips:

State your name, telephone number, the location where help is necessary, the situation and if it’s still happening, how many people require help, and whether there are weapons or dangerous substances involved.
Don’t forget the code to your parking lot or apartment building. Never hang up until you are invited to do so.
If you have existing medical problems or regularly take prescription drugs, make sure you at least know how to say their names in Spanish to the operator.
If you have children, cite their ages and how much they weigh (in kilograms) in case you need to call an anti-poison centre or to administer medication.
In a situation where you’re dealing with intoxications, make sure to inform them of what was taken and, if possible, give them the rest of what was consumed.
