Starting tomorrow, Tuesday 30 April, the Single European Emergency Number 1-1-2 (NUE 112) will receive emergency calls from the telephone districts 0881 (Foggia) and 0882 (San Severo).
The NUE 1-1-2 Service is the Single European Emergency Number to call for any type of rescue request and will replace the current numbers 112 (Carabinieri), 113 (State Police), 115 (Fire Brigade), 118 (Medical Rescue) and 1530 (Emergency at sea). These numbers in Puglia will remain active at the moment but the ones who will respond will be the Single Response Center (CUR) NUE 1-1-2 relating to the Special Regional Structure for the start-up of the NUE, based in the Civil Protection Department of the Puglia Region.
The NUE 1-1-2 has already been active since last April 16th in the telephone districts 080 (Bari) and 0831 (Brindisi) and will cover all of Puglia by next May 28th. From 16 to 25 April the CUR of Bari handled around 20,000 calls coming from the telephone districts of Bari (080) and Brindisi (0831) alone. Of all the emergency calls received, 53% were assigned to the health emergency, 46% to the police and 10% to the fire brigade.
Please remember that the Single Response Center of the Single Emergency Number 1-1-2 is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The NUE guarantees free calls, accessibility from any terminal and for disabled users, the multilingual service and uses technologies that allow for more accurate call localization. It is also possible to make a rescue call through the app called “Where are U”, downloadable from the App Store, which allows for more precise localization, already set up for calls for deaf users and for mute calls.
