Safety planning in Andorra covers two distinct areas with different risks and response systems. Disasters can endanger people, the environment, transport routes and essential services or affect several municipalities at once. Civil protection, known as Protecció Civil, coordinates prevention, warnings, response, evacuation and recovery with specialist bodies, emergency services and municipalities. Crime prevention and enforcement address offences such as theft, violence, sexual and domestic violence, drug offences, trafficking, traffic offences and cybercrime. Andorra’s official assessment describes crime as low and stable. Police recorded 9,724 interventions in 2024, and the available police data reports that more than 70% of offences were resolved. A complete parish-by-offence incidence table was not verified, so the available figures do not support a reliable comparison of every parish or offence category. The distinction between disaster and crime risks helps clarify which warning, emergency or police response applies to a specific situation.
Safety in Andorra
Safety in Andorra includes protection from major disasters and from crime. Relevant disaster risks include avalanches, snow and ice, heavy rain, flooding, landslides, wildfires and extreme weather. Official assessments describe crime as low and stable, although theft, violence, sexual and domestic violence, drug offences, trafficking, traffic offences and cybercrime remain relevant.
Tip
Treat safety in Andorra as two separate planning tracks: prepare for disaster warnings and evacuation, and assess crime concerns by their specific risk. Do not treat the official low and stable crime assessment as a guarantee of personal safety or use the available 2024 figures to rank parishes by offence risk.
