Emergency services refer to the organized services that respond to emergencies, providing immediate assistance during critical situations. These services primarily include police, fire and rescue, and emergency medical services (EMS). Their main goal is to protect life, property, and the environment during emergencies such as natural disasters, accidents, medical crises, fires, and acts of violence or terrorism. Emergency services operate around the clock and are often accessed via emergency contact numbers, such as 911 in the United States. They are essential in managing and mitigating emergencies, conducting rescues, providing medical care, and ensuring public safety.
