While in Croatia, whether you are a visitor or a long term resident, it is important to know who to contact in case of an emergency. There are also a few other national services that could prove helpful during your time here.

Let’s start with the most important one.

For emergencies, call 112.

Here are a list of the other numbers to call depending on what you need help with.

• 192 – Police
• 193 – Fire Brigade
• 194 – Ambulance
• 195 – Search and Rescue if at sea
• 1987 – Road Assistance
• 01 4640 800 – HAK (Croatian Automobile Club)
• 11888 – Telephone Directory
• 18166 – Weather Forecast
• 18981 – General Information
• 11802 – International Telephone Directory

The above numbers are listed as you would dial them from a Croatian number. If you are a visitor and need to call from a foreign number, precede the number with +385. +385 is the country code for Croatia. In calling a Croatian number that has an “0” at the beginning, remove it if also using the country code.

For example, to call the Croatian Automobile Club from a Croatian number, you would dial 01 4640 800. To call from a foreign number, you would dial +385 1 4640 800.
