Safety in Luxembourg

Safety in Luxembourg includes preparedness for disasters and awareness of crime risks. Recurring hazards include flooding, severe weather, fires, road crashes and technological failures; crime risks include theft, violence, burglary, fraud, domestic violence, cybercrime, drug offences and property damage. In 2025, police recorded 41,489 crime cases, including 20,355 thefts, 1,576 burglaries of occupied homes and 1,297 domestic-violence interventions.

Tip

Treat safety in Luxembourg as two linked preparations: a rapid response plan for disasters and routine protection against crime. Prioritize knowing when to call 112, which warning channels to follow and where essential supplies are kept. Read police figures as recorded cases, not as a complete measure of personal risk.

Disasters

Disasters in Luxembourg include floods, severe weather, fires, road crashes, technological failures and rare earthquake or malicious threats that can endanger people, the environment or critical infrastructure. Flooding is the most significant recurring climate-related risk, while fires and road rescues create frequent emergencies. Luxembourg combines national warning, rescue and crisis-coordination services with household preparation. During an urgent emergency, call 112 for fire, ambulance, rescue, flooding, pollution or serious damage.
