# What to do in case of an Emergency

In a medical emergency or other immediate crisis, you can call emergency services (112) for an ambulance, although a taxi is often the fastest way to get to the hospital. As soon as you are able, please call the CIS Abroad emergency phone (+1 413 210 7091). This number is also on the emergency contacts card you receive upon arriving on site.

1. First **dial 112** to reach health and police resources, firefighting resources, rescue and civil protection. The operator will answer the phone in tje local language. Respond in English and you will be transferred to an English-speaking operator in a few moments. **Be prepared to say your name and share your exact location and type of emergency.**
2. For local assistance, call Sant'Anna's Emergency phone at +39 333 329 1891.
3. Then call CIS Abroad US Emergency Phone at +1 413 210 7091 / Emergency Email**:** [emergency@cisabroad.com ](mailto:Emergency@cisabroad.com)(you can share this number with your parents). The CIS Abroad emergency phone is used for on-site emergencies across the world, and someone will always be able to answer, as the phone is monitored 24/7.

- **If it is a medical emergency, taking a taxi may be the quickest way to get to the hospital. **
