Emergency Numbers

In case of emergency, first dial 000 to reach health and police resources, firefighting resources, rescue and civil protection.

Triple zero is Australia's primary emergency service number and should be used if urgent emergency assistance is required (very similar to 911 in the US).These services can also be accessed by calling 112 on a mobile phone. Calls made to 112 will re-route to 000. Be prepared to say your name and share your exact location and type of emergency.

Then call CIS Abroad US Emergency Phone at +1 413 210 7091 / Emergency Email: emergency@cisabroad.com  (you can share this number with your parents). The CIS Abroad emergency phone is used for on-site emergencies across the world, and someone will always be able to answer, as the phone is monitored 24/7.

If this is an emergency that happens during the day (from 8:00am to 8:00pm) - please notify your site director.  They will help to guide you through the emergency.
