State helpline 1247
State helpline 1247
The state helpline is an information number operating next to the emergency number 112, which offers information and advice in Estonian, Russian and English 24 hours a day in situations where life, health and property are not endangered.
The senior specialists of the state helpline provide and collect information related to the environment, roads, rescue field and currently also the coronavirus.
One of the most important goals of the service is to reduce the burden of the 112 emergency number, i.e. to help people with non-emergency calls. Safety information and instructions for behaviour are also provided to prevent accidents.
The emergency response centre has the capability to use emergency and information numbers during an emergency or a major accident as a crisis helpline, through which recommendations and instructions for behaviour are distributed to the population.
State helpline 1247 is free of charge when calling from all Estonian networks.

Since its establishment, the state helpline has relied largely on volunteers who, together with the staff of the Emergency Response Centre in four centres all over Estonia, help answer people's questions every day.
