Technical problems affect the emergency service

Since Monday morning, the emergency 112 service of the Community of Madrid has been facing a technical issue that has interrupted the normal reception of calls. This situation has raised concerns among citizens who rely on this service for critical situations.

Through its official channels, Emergencias 112 has informed about the problem and urged Madrid residents to use alternative numbers while the issue is resolved. The activated phones are:

  • 061: for health emergencies (SUMMA 112 and SAMUR).
  • 091: National Police.
  • 092: Municipal Police.

Authorities have emphasized the importance of spreading this information, especially among the elderly or those who may have difficulty adapting to changes in emergency protocols.

Despite the inconvenience, technical teams are working hard to identify and resolve the source of the problem. Emergencias 112 has committed to restoring the service as soon as possible, ensuring that the safety and well-being of citizens is their priority.

As technical work progresses, authorities are asking the public to remain calm. It is essential that everyone is informed about how to act in case of an emergency during this period. Citizen collaboration is key; sharing these alternative numbers can make a difference in critical situations.
