EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Fire (KAJI)/Ambulance (KYUKYU) --- 119 Police (KEISATSU) --- 110 (1) To prepare an Emergency Personal Cards

You should create an “emergency personal cards (see below example)” where important information relating to you is written down, for use when there is an emergency. [Emergency Personal Card] Name: Address & Phone number: Nationality: Gender: Date of Birth: Blood Type: Alien Registration number: Passport number: Insurance: Place to contact in the event of emergency: Language spoken:

(2) What to say when reporting an emergency

If you dial 119 or 110, you will be asked where the ambulance or police car should go. Stay calm, and speak slowly and loudly. If you cannot explain in Japanese, you should ask a person you know nearby who can speak Japanese. You should practice saying your address frequently in Japanese. In addition, when you communicate a location to the ambulance or police, they will be able to reach the place more quickly if you tell them ob a building, etc. nearby that can function as a landmark.
