Emergency Contact Numbers for Mexico City

There is no unified system for emergency numbers in Mexico.  Many states use the following.

Police/Policia: 066

Fire/Bomberos: 068

Red Cross Ambulance/Cruz Roja: 065

Important:

• Contact your sponsor/business to learn about their emergency procedures.
• Get a doctor, and know which hospital you want to utilize in case of emergency.
• Create and have next to the phone a list of emergency contacts.  If you have help in your house discuss the list with these people.

* Almost every cell phone in Mexico includes an insurance plan by default. It may include

car help much like AAA in the U.S., but it also provides insurance for emergency health

and household help (fire, plumbing, damage, etc.) We urge you to check on this

insurance by contacting your cell phone provider. Be sure you know how to use all the

services that LOCATEL provides.

If you do not want the insurance, you can cancel that portion of your cellular payment,

be it a monthly contract or pay-as-you-use telephone service.
