Emergency & safety services — anywhere in the world
29,900+ services across 248 countries — police, fire, ambulance, crisis hotlines, social services, airports, infrastructure, and more. Plus 588 first aid tips, 521 preparedness guides, and 84 medical conditions. All offline.
First aid tips that work offline — 588 guides in your pocket
Saropa Contacts stores 588 first aid tips, 84 medical condition profiles, and 521 emergency preparedness guides directly on your device. No internet required. No loading screens when seconds matter.
Searchable by symptom, not just by name
Type "chest pain" and see related conditions, first aid steps, and guidance on when to call emergency services. The condition finder works by symptoms, not medical terminology — so you get useful results even when you do not know the name of what you are dealing with.
Works when you have no signal
Every tip, condition, and guide is stored on-device at install time. Mountain trails, remote campsites, underground car parks, or anywhere else your phone has no signal — the information is still there. No data connection means no loading, which also means no delay.
Medical conditions with severity levels
Each of the 84 medical conditions includes symptom descriptions, severity levels (mild, moderate, severe), recommended treatments, and curated web resources from sources like the Mayo Clinic, NHS, and Sleep Foundation. Helps you ask better questions before you reach a doctor.
Preparedness that fits in your pocket
521 guides cover what to do before, during, and after natural disasters, power outages, evacuations, and severe weather. Each is a practical checklist — not a wall of text. Stored locally, so they work exactly when the power grid and cell towers do not.
Common questions about emergency numbers
Does Saropa work offline for emergency numbers?
Yes. The entire emergency database — over 29,900 services across 248 countries — is stored on your device. You can look up police, ambulance, fire, and other services with no internet connection, which matters most when traveling in areas with poor coverage.
How many countries does the emergency database cover?
Saropa covers 248 countries with 73 service types across 8 color-coded families — from police, ambulance, and fire to addiction support, elderly services, and human trafficking hotlines. Each entry includes the local number, service type, and any notes about when to use it.
Are the emergency numbers verified?
Emergency numbers are sourced from official government publications and verified against ITU and embassy records. The database is updated regularly. Because this is life-safety information, all entries go through human verification before publishing.
Can I call an emergency number directly from the app?
Yes. Tap any emergency number to dial it immediately — no copying or switching apps. Saropa also shows the local police, ambulance, and fire numbers for your current country at the top of the emergency screen for one-tap access.
Common questions about first aid guides
What first aid information does Saropa provide?
Saropa includes step-by-step first aid instructions for common emergencies — burns, choking, CPR, bleeding, allergic reactions, and more. Instructions are written for non-medical people and designed to be read under stress, with clear numbered steps and no jargon.
Does the first aid guide work offline?
Yes. All first aid content is stored on your device and available without an internet connection. This is critical in emergencies where network access may be limited or unavailable.
Is the first aid content medically reviewed?
First aid guidance follows internationally recognized protocols. Content is written clearly for general audiences and is regularly reviewed. For serious medical emergencies, always call your local emergency number — the app makes this easy with one-tap dialing.
