112 Suomi 4.8.8

The 112 Suomi mobile application, developed collaboratively between the Emergency Response Centre Agency and Finnish security-sector entities, serves as a key tool for emergency response coordination. Its primary aim is to facilitate rapid access to appropriate services during emergencies and non-urgent situations.

One of the app’s notable advantages is its ability to directly connect users to emergency services while automatically transmitting location data to the Emergency Response Centre. This feature enhances response efficiency. Additionally, when contacting the Road Users’ Hotline or Maritime Rescue Centre through the app, users’ location information is similarly shared, supporting swift assistance across different scenarios.

The app offers a range of functionalities tailored to various situations. It includes hotlines for non-urgent concerns, provides information on the nearest defibrillator locations, and allows users to register their travels abroad with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The app also contains practical instruction cards for boaters encountering emergencies or other issues and offers guidance on recognizing stroke symptoms.

To aid in accident prevention and safety awareness, 112 Suomi functions as one of the official channels for public safety alerts. It delivers regional warnings and notices based on the user’s geographical location, with alerts issued by relevant authorities to keep users informed of potential dangers.
