Few people know: the 112 emergency center can also be reached via text message and app.

Another innovation: the 112NL app

Earlier this year, Control Rooms launched another way to access the fair: via an app. Available for iOS and Android, this 112NL app is for everyone. It is an application that allows you to make calls and send text messages.

Why should you install this application? You can call 112, right? Yes, but by calling via this application, the emergency center immediately receives all kinds of information. This way they can immediately see whether you need the police, ambulance or fire brigade. The operator will also see your name if you entered it during installation. You can also indicate which language you speak and whether you have difficulty hearing or speaking.

The home screen also shows your exact location and this information is sent immediately when you call, as well as when you call 112 as usual.

Finally, if you have a speech or hearing impairment, or if you speak another language, the operator can start calling right away.
