Emergency services

The primary universal emergency number in Moscow, as in all of Russia, is **112**. This toll-free number connects callers to a centralized dispatcher who can route them to police, fire, or ambulance services. Alternatively, direct lines are available: * **101** – Fire and Rescue (EMERCOM) * **102** – Police * **103** – Ambulance/Medical Emergency * **104** – Gas Emergency Emergency response is coordinated by city authorities alongside the Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM), which manages disaster relief, fire services, and civil defense.
