The purpose of the end office is to begin the process of switching calls within the US telephone network. When a 911 call is placed, the end office recognizes it as an emergency call and immediately routes it to a set of lines that are reserved for emergencies. The 911 call is then transferred from the end office to the central office. read more

Then you would dial 011 + 1 + area code and number. Keep in mind, the direct line can directly dispatch 911 services too. First, I would get a list of all the possibly needed emergency numbers together for your friend or talk to their neighbors before you go. Then you could call THEM directly and they could dial 911 for you. read more

If an emergency arises, call the 10-digit number instead of 911. It will connect you directly to the correct PSAP, and you can give the call-taker the address so she can send help. A PSAP may be reluctant to help you if their system is busy when you call. read more

Dial "112." Don't call 911 as you would in the United States; that number doesn't work in Europe. Dialing 112 from any country in the European Union (EU) will connect you to emergency services, such as police, fire, and ambulance services. read more
