9-1-1, usually written as 911, is an emergency telephone number for the United States, Canada, Palau, Argentina, Philippines, and Jordan, as well as the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), one of eight N11 codes. Like other emergency numbers around the world, this number is intended for use in emergency circumstances only. Using it for any other purpose (such as making false or prank calls) is a crime in most jurisdictions.

In over 98% of locations in Argentina, Belize, Anguilla, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jordan, Ethiopia, Liberia, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Uruguay, United States, Palau, Mexico, Tonga, and Canada, dialling "9-1-1" from any telephone will link the caller to an emergency dispatch office, called a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by the telecommunications industry, which can send emergency responders to the caller's location in an emergency. In approximately 96 percent of the United States, the enhanced 9-1-1 system automatically pairs caller numbers with a physical address.

In the Philippines, the 9-1-1 emergency hotline has been available to the public since August 1, 2016, starting in Davao City. It is the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. It replaces the previous emergency number 117 used outside Davao City.

As of 2017, a 9-1-1 system is in use in Mexico, where implementation in different states and municipalities is being conducted.

Le 911 (prononcé, de manière équivalente, « neuf, un, un » en français canadien et nine one one en anglais) est un numéro d'appel d'urgence nord-américain depuis 1968. Il fait partie du plan de numérotation nord-américain et est l'un des huit codes N11. En 2020, il est appelé environ 650 000 fois par jour aux États-Unis. En Europe, le 112 a été retenu comme numéro d'appel d'urgence, même si les pays n'ont pas toujours supprimé leur numéro historique.

L'alerte (les Suisses utilisent le terme d'alarme) en premiers secours consiste, pour un sauveteur, à alerter les secours public pour demander leur intervention (pompier, SAMU) ou un conseil à la régulation médicale. C'est la troisième étape, après la protection et le bilan lors d'une action de porter secours. L'alerte est nécessaire lorsqu'un danger menace une personne ou un bien (accident, malaise, incendie,...), et va permettre de déclencher une prise en charge adaptée. C'est pourquoi l'évaluation faite lors du bilan est primordiale afin que la réponse apportée soit adaptée au péril (intervention des pompiers pour un incendie ou un accident, du SAMU pour un malaise cardiaque, de secours nautique pour une personne se noyant,...)

Le moyen le plus fiable de passer l'alerte est le téléphone filaire : la communication est de qualité, et il est aisé de localiser l'appel. À défaut, on peut utiliser un téléphone portable : il a l'avantage d'être souvent disponible immédiatement, mais si l'appelant n'est pas capable d'indiquer à quel endroit se situe le sinistre, il est plus difficile de le localiser, sauf si le téléphone est muni d'une puce GPS. Certains pays ont mis en place une alerte par SMS ou par courrier électronique, utilisable par les handicapés de la voix. Malgré le développement des médias sociaux pour la gestion de l'urgence (MSGU), il n'est pas encore possible de prévenir de manière efficace les secours par les réseaux sociaux
