In case of fire, traffic accidents, criminal activities you can call this emergency number to warn the fire brigade, ambulance or police to ask for help. The problem now in Santo Domingo is the large scale abuse of the emergency number. The emergency number 911 has so far received 17,000 false calls. Employees of the emergency telephone central say that of every 15 calls, 12 are fake emergency calls. If the fake caller can be located and identified he will henceforth be severely punished. Yet, despite the many abuse, the government will continue with the implementation of the 911 system in the rest of the country. So Sosúa can look forward to the implementation of the 911 emergency system in the beginning of 2016.
