Get safe. Share where you are.

Use 112 for immediate danger. For non-emergency illness or injury, use Iceland’s health advice service instead.

If something happens

Use this order.

Move only when staying where you are creates more danger.

  1. 01
    Protect people first.

    Stop away from traffic, switch on hazards, put on warm/waterproof layers and do not stand in the road.

  2. 02
    Call the right service.

    112 for danger or serious injury. Lotus for breakdown or vehicle damage. 1700 for non-emergency medical guidance.

  3. 03
    Give coordinates and road details.

    Say the road number, nearest landmark, direction of travel, vehicle description and how many people need help.

  4. 04
    Photograph before moving anything.

    Capture the scene, vehicle, road, damage and dashboard warnings when it is safe to do so.

  5. 05
    Follow instructions.

    Do not continue driving after water ingress, tyre damage, warning lights or a collision until Lotus advises you.
