The public can also call 113 13 and provide information about serious accidents and crises.

Background to the number

113 13 has been developed at the request of the government. This is to supplement and relieve the 112 emergency number. The background to this is that in the event of accidents and crises, there is often a heavy load on the emergency number. Emergency calls must always receive immediate assistance. In addition, there is also an increasing need for information to and from the public.
