Emergency numbers and help in The Bahamas

The numbers

Before you need them

• Both numbers work. 911 is the one an American visitor will reach for automatically and it is correct here.
• On a Family Island, know how you would get to Nassau or Freeport. An air ambulance is the realistic answer for anything serious, and your insurer needs to be told at once.
• Keep the government's hurricane alerts switched on and your embassy's number saved offline.
