Mountain Rescue Ireland

What to do in an Emergency

It is always a good precaution to carry a mobile telephone when out hiking in the wilderness. If you are unlucky enough for a an accident to happen, try to stay calm and think before you act. You should only phone Mountain Rescue in the case of a serious injury or illness.

Before calling the Emergency Services, first identify your location by grid reference or gps coordinates. Then dial 999 and ask the operator for 'Mountain Rescue'. You will then be put through to the Police station where your call will be answered, the situation assessed and, if necessary, the team called out.
