Emergency Info

General

This website provides emergency contact information based on countries.

Location

One feature available is that on loading the website, if granted, the website determines the current location of the user. Based on this, the emergency contact information of the current country is loaded.

Search

In addition, users can search for a specific country that they want information on. Then the emergency contact information for that country is retrieved.

Data Sources

For retrieving the country the user is located in, the website uses the OpenStreetMap Nominatim API.

The data for the emergency contact information is from the source of the EmergencyNumberAPI and was updated a bit with the data from Wikipedia.

Call links

The phone numbers displayed on the website are clickable for faster access in case of an emergency. When clicked, the user is prompted to confirm his wish to actually call the number. Then he will be transferred to the app that handles "tel:..." links.

How to run the Website

The website can't be started by simply opening the index.html file. Instead, the site is currently running on GitHub Pages (as of 12.01.2025).
