nora is the official emergency call app of the German federal states.
This app lets you contact the police, fire brigade and rescue service quickly and easily in an emergency. Anywhere in Germany.
nora uses the geolocation function of your mobile device to communicate your exact location to the responsible emergency control centre. This enables responders to find you more easily, even if you don’t know exactly where you are.
This app also lets you send emergency calls without having to speak. This enables persons with limited speech and hearing capabilities to directly contact the police, fire brigade and rescue service emergency control centres.
What other emergency call options are available?
The emergency call app nora is an additional way to reach police, fire brigade and rescue services without a voice call.
All other contact channels remain available.
You can still use the emergency numbers 110 (police) and 112 (fire brigade/rescue service) for a voice emergency call or emergency fax.
