The Process
When an emergency is reported through 1-0-8, the call taker gathers the needed basic information and dispatches appropriate services. Basic information obtained includes:
- Where the call is placed from (District/Taluka/City/Town/exact location/landmark)
- The type of emergency
- Number of people injured and the condition of the injured
- The caller’s name and contact number – for location guidance if required
Emergency help dispatched through this process is expected to reach the site of the emergency in an average of 18 minutes. Pre-hospital care will be given to patients being transported to the nearest hospital.
The 108 Emergency Response Service should be called:
- To save a life
- To report a crime in progress
- To report a fire
- Anytime an emergency response is required for medical, law enforcement and fire.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“To me, the whole process of being a brushstroke in someone else’s painting is a little difficult.”
—Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)
“In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
