Alarm signals inform the population of the imminent approach or the present state of a large scale disaster. They are the first link in the chain of actions designed to reduce the impact of an accident or a disaster. 

When you find yourself in an emergency situation, knowing how to raise the alarm will enable you to get help quickly and efficiently.   

Every country provides phone numbers for emergency services: fire services, medical services, the police, and associations approved by the state, who will give help and take care of the victim…  

Whether you are at home, at work, out on foot or driving, as soon as you see that somebody is hurt, know how to raise the alarm.   

Do you know that the Europe-wide emergency number is 112? It can be dialled from any landline or mobile phone (even without knowing the PIN).
