112 Day is celebrated again on 11 February. On this day, attention will be paid to your and your loved ones’ safety, as well as to all actors in the safety and security sector — those who help in an emergency. In 2021, the campaign will be organised virtually under the theme “Safety is a right for all of us”.

Thank safety actors in social media: #thankyouchain

Many of us have received help in an emergency, and during the week of 112 Day, you have the opportunity to thank the various safety actors. Use the hashtag #thankyouchain in your message. This is an EU-wide campaign to acknowledge safety actors during the week of 112 Day.
