The Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic is preparing a series of educational events for this year’s European 112 Day, during which temporary operations centers will be set up in some shopping centers and public places. Here, in cooperation with the Police of the Czech Republic, the public will be able to try out the work of operators and communication in an emergency. These activities will be accompanied by a digital campaign on social networks and websites, including knowledge competitions with prizes on the theme of 112, thematic video spots, invitations to accompanying events, and overall promotion of European 112 Day, so that the campaign reaches the widest possible audience throughout the country. At the same time, professional articles using current operational data will be published to illustrate the workload and effectiveness of the 112 line.

In Finland, the Emergency Response Agency is planning the following actions:

112 Finland has expanded the activities around the 112 Day and emergency number week. During the emergency number week, the 112 theme can be highlighted by organising a theme day in a community, hosting a public event together with other stakeholders, or sharing 112-related information on social media. Materials to support this can be found on the agency’s webpage.

This year, 112 Finland has created specific 112 instructions and a campaign on social media to reach young men. According to research and observations by authorities, young men face, on average, more challenges in acting appropriately in emergency situations than other population groups. A young person may not want to intervene or may lack the confidence to act, even if they are the first one on the scene. At the same time, their trust in authorities may be lower than in other groups, which can increase uncertainty about how to respond in an emergency.

Reaching and engaging young men is important, as many situations that lead to emergencies occur in everyday environments where young people spend their time – in schools, during leisure activities, and within peer groups. In these moments, the most important thing is to do something – not to remain a bystander.

112 Finland has contacted various organisations that work with this target group (e.g. schools, youth centers, helplines etc.) and has distributed the instructions and the material with their help. Extensive media cooperation has also been carried out.

As part of the campaign, anyone can organise a public event. Events have been listed on the 112 Finland website.
