Safety in Slovenia

Safety in Slovenia covers protection from both natural or technological disasters and crime. Emergency response involves police, fire and rescue services, medical teams, municipalities, volunteer firefighters and the national Civil Protection system. The emergency number 112 connects callers to services for immediate danger, while 113 reaches the police.

Tip

Treat safety planning in Slovenia as two linked routines: know which number fits the incident and prepare the basic items needed during disruption. Use 112 for immediate danger requiring emergency services and 113 for urgent police assistance. Keep personal safety first, then follow official instructions, preserve useful evidence and avoid obstructing rescue work.

Disasters

Disaster protection in Slovenia combines public emergency services, municipalities, volunteer firefighters, and the national Civil Protection system.

Crime

Crime protection in Slovenia is organized through the national police, local police stations, criminal investigators, prosecutors, and courts.
