DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Within the PAS (protect, alert, help) protocol, the Alert phase must be carried out with the greatest speed and effectiveness. The most suitable way is to call the emergency number 112, a free, unified telephone number operating throughout the European Union that centrally and simultaneously coordinates all the services needed (police, firefighters and medical assistance). Making separate calls to different services fragments the information and delays the arrival of critical medical help, while continuing to drive in search of an SOS call box when a faster means is available is an unnecessary and dangerous waste of time.
