Emergency services

Bhutan maintains a centralized and responsive emergency infrastructure, though response times can be affected by the country's challenging mountainous terrain.

**Emergency Phone Numbers:** * **Police:** 113 * **Ambulance / Medical Emergency:** 112 * **Fire:** 110 * **Traffic Police:** 111

The **Royal Bhutan Police** handles law enforcement and public safety, while the **Department of Disaster Management (DDM)** coordinates responses to natural disasters, which most commonly include landslides, earthquakes, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).
