Post; Emergency - 911


Here in the USA, in case of an emergency you can dial 911 on your phone and reach emergency dispatch personnel (usually both police & fire and sometimes ambulance too).
In Canada, it is the same, 911.
In most European counties, the number is 112.
Here is a listing of other counties as listed by Travel and Leisure Magazine:
Argentina - 911
Australia - 000
Hong Kong - 999
Israel - 100
Japan - 119 (Edit. back-wards 911?)
Mexico - 060
Switzerland - 144
Thailand - 191

Feel free to edit this list by adding your country if it is not listed here.

I believe Japan's 119 could be correct. In South Korea it's also 119.
