[Subject] Introducing the emergency call app "nora" ~ In case of emergency ~
Dec. 11, 2024, 12:11 a.m.
1. When you call 110 or 112 in Germany, you will be connected to the emergency center. The operator will usually ask questions such as "Was ist passiert?" (What happened?), "Wo ist es passiert?" (Where are you?), "Wer meldet den Notfall?" (Who is calling?), or "Wie ist Ihr Name?" (What is your name?). Operators speak German, but in most cases they can speak simple English. The most important information is what happened and where, so it is important to answer these questions accurately and concisely. When describing the location, please include street names, house numbers, landmarks, etc. as much as possible.
2 The app we are introducing this time is the official emergency call app of the German Federal Government, and is available throughout Germany. It supports emergency calls for police, fire, rescue, and emergency transport. It is designed to be used even with little knowledge of German, and you can easily make a call by selecting buttons without having to make a phone call. Also, if you allow the use of location information in advance, you do not need to explain your location. After making a call, you can contact the emergency center via chat, without having to talk on the phone. The app is available in German and English.
3. Advance registration is required to use the service. Users must download the app and register in advance. To register, you will need to show a passport or other form of identification to verify your identity, and you will need to be authenticated by POSTIDENT (if you want to do this online, you will need to download the POSTIDENT app).
4. Please be sure to check how information is handled on this App before using it.
