What is the 911 for? The 911 hotline is the number to call for quick response and emergency assistance to people in distress.



From Patrol 117, the program evolved into E911 in 2016 through a memorandum and was institutionalized in 2018 through Executive Order No. 56 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte.



Emergency calls coursed through the 911 hotline include those that require police assistance, fire reports, medical assistance, search and rescue, and those that concern chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) material. – Rappler.com
