In Italy 112 will be active soon, the single European emergency number, that will replace 118; when you dial 112 you can ask for the intervention of the police, Carabinieri (gendarmerie), fire brigade and medical emergency, also with the possibility of alerting the civil defence service and the local police. The system will offer assistance in several languages and for people with disabilities, as required by European directives.
