23.2.2023 | The range of services offered by the 112 Suomi mobile app increased on 23 February – conveniently during the International Crime Victims’ Week. The number 116006 of Victim Support Finland was added to the app’s emergency numbers.

25.9.2023 | In the event that an underage child becomes missing, it is important to inform the responsible authorities quickly. For this purpose, assistance is available from a common European hotline. In Finland, the hotline can be used for sharing tips about missing children. In emergencies, the number to call is 112.

28.9.2023 | There has recently been discussion in the news about automatic emergency call systems in vehicles. The Europe-wide eCall connects directly to the nearest emergency response centre and sends information directly to the centre's information system.

15.3.2024 | The Emergency Response Centre Agency’s financial statements for 2023 are complete. Last year, the number of employee absences due to illness fell, new ERC operators were recruited, and employee satisfaction increased.

23.7.2024 | Congestion in health care and social services has recently been in the news frequently, and the issue is also affecting emergency and prehospital care. Non-urgent tasks are also increasingly assigned to prehospital emergency care services, and various multi-professional approaches have been developed around Finland to handle these assignments.

10.9.2024 | Thousands of emergency calls are made to the Emergency Response Centres every year involving cases of self-harm or attempted suicide. The purpose of the Suicide Prevention Day is to inform people that help is available and that it's safe to talk about suicide.

3.12.2024 | Anniina Takala, the ERC Operator of the Year, will celebrate the Finnish Independence Day at the Presidential Palace. She feels that the invitation honours the whole profession.

3.1.2025 | While technology keeps evolving, emergency response centre services will continue to be provided first and foremost by humans to humans. This requires social interaction skills and the self-awareness to identify your reactions and limit stress.

4.2.2025 | The preparedness guide intended for the general public contains instructions on how to prepare for emergency conditions and what to do during them. The guide is now available in the 112 Suomi mobile app.

3.4.2025 | Taito Vainio started his second five-year term as the Director General of the Emergency Response Centre Agency in early March. In the coming years, his work will be characterised by the challenges arising from the changes in the operating environment.

23.6.2025 | When it comes to emergency calls, the most important thing in terms of getting help is to know where you are so that help can reach you as quickly as possible. Technology and especially the 112 Suomi app are good tools for determining your location.

13.3.2025 | The Emergency Response Centre Agency’s financial statements for 2024 are complete. The service level of emergency response centre (ERC) operations remained good, even though we were not able to meet all our performance targets. During 2024, absences due to illness decreased and the work load was evened out. Customer confidence and satisfaction in ERC operations remained high.

31.7.2025 | In recent weeks, there has been a significantly higher number of drownings and serious near-miss incidents at public beaches than usual. Recognizing the situation and calling for help quickly is critical when someone ends up in the water. A drowning person is rarely able to call for help, which highlights the importance of others in noticing the emergency.

30.1.2026 | During adolescence, risk taking and peer pressure are often heightened, and sometimes situations can escalate into danger. The aim of the 112 Day campaign is to strengthen young men’s ability to recognize emergencies and encourage them to act.

8.9.2025 | According to a survey by the Finnish Road Safety Council (Liikenneturva), one in four Finns do not feel that they know what to do at the scene of an accident. The instructions provided by an ERC operator can save lives in an accident situation.

4.5.2026 | The Emergency Response Centre Agency is focusing on preparedness. Technical solutions, expertise and cooperation are the building blocks of overall preparedness.

26.9.2025 | The Emergency Response centre sends assistance to more than 2,240 assignments involving childbirth each year. For the ERC operator, the experience is unique, as the sounds of new life can be heard at the other end of the line.
