3. Follow Instructions: Emergency operators are trained to guide you. Follow their instructions carefully.
4. Have Local Emergency Numbers Saved: Save the essential numbers on your phone and have a physical copy handy.
5. Learn Basic Spanish Phrases: If you're not a Spanish speaker, learning basic phrases for emergencies can be very helpful.
6. Important Notes for Expats and Visitors: English-speaking staff are available in many services, especially in tourist-focused areas.
