There is only one emergency number in Finland, 112. Trained ERC operators answer emergency calls in six emergency response centres in mainland Finland. Calls are answered with the words “Hätäkeskus - Nödcentralen”.
ERC operators in Finland are legally obligated to answer calls in Finnish and Swedish. If an operator does not speak Swedish or English, they can transfer the call to another operator or an interpreter, in which case the caller may be put on hold briefly.
