How to Make an Emergency Call |
Stay calm. Always speak clearly and slowly when making an emergency call.
If possible, enlist the aid of a Japanese speaker in placing the call.
The following Japanese phrases will be helpful if the operator does not understand English.
|
| Japanese | English |
| Kyukyusha o yonde kudasai. | Please send an ambulance. |
| Kaji desu. | There is a fire. |
| Keikan o yonde kudasai. | Please send a policeman. |
| Watashi no namae wa _____ desu. | My name is _____. |
| Watashi no jusho wa _____ desu. | My address is _____. |
| Watashi no denwa bango wa _____ desu. | My telephone number is _____. |
It may not be necessary to give your address since the police and fire department in
Tokyo have installed a new computer system which tells them the location of the caller.

Stay on the line! DO NOT hang up until the operator hangs up. |
