Root Cause

Chile does not use 911. Dial 133 for police (Carabineros), 131 for ambulance (SAMU), and 132 for fire (Bomberos). All are free from any phone.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Dial 911 in Chile expecting to reach emergency services 95% fail

    911 is not the emergency number in Chile. Police is 133, ambulance is 131, and fire is 132. A 911 call does not connect to local police, fire, or ambulance.

  2. Call 133 (police) for a medical emergency 50% fail

    133 reaches Carabineros (police); ambulances come via 131 (SAMU). Calling the wrong line delays medical help.
