Emergencies — 112 · 119, and text them if you cannot speak

112 for crime, 119 for fire, rescue, and medical emergencies — 24 hours, and they do not ask about your immigration status. If you cannot speak, you can send a text message to 112 or 119 — write your address and what happened.
📌 Key points
If you install the government report apps in advance, your location is sent automatically — the National Police Agency's "112신고앱" (text, 10-second recording, and video reports) and the National Fire Agency's "119신고" (sends your location by text). Search for them by name in the app store. I-EUM itself has no reporting function — these two are government apps.
