Emergency Contacts Finder: Hospitals, Police and Highway Helplines Near You

How to Use the Emergency Contacts Finder

The finder lists the hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, police stations, fire stations and vehicle repair shops closest to you, with phone numbers where they are known, a call button and directions. Choose Near me if you need help now, Near a place to check what is available at a destination, or Along a route to plan before a road trip.

Plan before you leave

Mobile signal can be weak or absent in parts of Kinnaur, Spiti, Lahaul, the Pangi Valley and on high passes. Search your route before you set off and take a screenshot of the results, so the numbers are with you even without signal.

Where the data comes from

Locations and phone numbers come from OpenStreetMap. Phone numbers are not recorded for every place, and some details may be out of date. For a medical emergency, call 108 or 112 rather than relying on a listed number.

How the Results Are Found

In Near me and Near a place modes, the finder searches outward from the chosen point for six kinds of help: hospitals, clinics and doctors, pharmacies, police stations, fire stations and vehicle repair or tyre shops. Results are sorted by straight-line distance. If fewer than five places are mapped within your chosen radius, which is common in remote valleys, the search widens automatically to 25 km and a note tells you it has done so.

In Along a route mode, the finder plans the road route, checks for help at regular intervals along it, and keeps only the places within your chosen distance of the road. Each result then shows how far along the route it lies, so you can see, for example, that the nearest hospital after a high pass is 40 km ahead rather than 10 km behind. Phone numbers, emergency-department labels and 24-hour opening are added a moment later, once the extra details load.

Information to Keep Ready Before a Hill Trip

• An emergency contact on your lock screen, so responders can reach family even if your phone is locked.
• Blood group and any allergies or medical conditions for everyone travelling, noted in your phone and on paper.
• Vehicle documents and driving licence in DigiLocker or mParivahan, which are accepted as valid digital copies.
• Your insurer’s roadside assistance number, which often covers towing and on-the-spot repairs.
• Offline maps of the region downloaded in advance, since signal can disappear for long stretches.

What to Do After a Road Accident

• Make the scene safe. Switch on hazard lights, place a warning triangle well behind the vehicle and move everyone away from traffic.
• Call for help. Dial 112 or 108 for injuries. On a national highway, 1033 also sends help and records the location.
• Do not move seriously injured people unless they are in immediate danger, such as from fire or a falling slope.
• Share your exact location. Use the “Share my location” button in this tool, or the location option in WhatsApp, so responders can find you.
• Help without fear. Under the Good Samaritan provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, a bystander who helps an accident victim is protected by law: they cannot be detained, and a hospital cannot ask them to pay for the victim’s treatment.
