State-Wise Emergency and Disaster Helpline Numbers in India (Checked 19 Oct 2026)

The number to call in an emergency is the same across India: 112. But the numbers around it change from state to state. Your disaster control room, the ambulance service, the electricity complaint line and the state women’s helpline are run by your state, and the number is often not the one a cousin in another city gave you. This guide gathers the state-run numbers we could confirm on official government pages on 19 October 2026, and says plainly where we could not. For the numbers that are the same nationwide, see our guide to emergency numbers in India.

How to read this guide

• Checked on 19 October 2026. Every number in the tables was seen on an official government, state disaster management authority or state power company page that day. The sources are listed at the end.
• “Not verified” means we left it out. Some official sites did not open for us or did not print a number. We did not fill the gap from news reports, forwarded messages or memory. A shorter table you can trust is better than a long one you cannot.
• Only office and control-room numbers. We have not listed any individual officer’s phone number.
• “Same as national” means no special number. Where a state simply uses the national women’s helpline 181 or police 112, the table says so.
• Numbers change. Some state pages are old or undated. Save these numbers, and check them against your state’s own website once a year.

State-wise and UT-wise numbers

Disaster control room means the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) or State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC). 1070 is the state-level disaster helpline and 1077 the district-level one in many states. Ambulance and health lists 108 (emergency ambulance), 102 (ambulance for pregnant women and children) and 104 (health advice) only where an official page for that state carries them.

Where the 36 states and UTs stand

We found at least one verified state-run number for 34 of the 36 states and UTs. For Rajasthan and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the official sites would not open from our network on 19 October, so those rows are empty rather than guessed. Several other states have gaps in single columns, mostly the disaster control room and the electricity line. Where a state has several power companies, we list only the ones we could read.

Looking for help close to you? The team behind HowToSurvive.in also builds Bharat101, an independent safety app (not a government service). It shows nearby fire stations, hospitals and police stations, and its hold-to-send SOS shares your live location with the control room and your emergency contacts. You can find it on Google Play. In an emergency, always call 112 or 101 first.

Which number for which problem

• Life at risk, fire, crime or a crash: call 112 first. Our call-script guide explains what to say on the call.
• Flood, cyclone, landslide, earthquake or storm damage: your state control room (1070 in many states) or the district control room (1077). If lives are in danger, call 112. If you live on the coast, read our guide to cyclone warnings and evacuation before the season starts.
• Medical help: 108 for an emergency ambulance. 102 and 104 differ by state, so use the table.
• Power cut, snapped wire or sparking meter: your power company’s complaint number. A live wire on the road is a danger to life, so keep people away and call 112.
• Smell of LPG: 1906 is the national LPG emergency helpline. We found no state-specific gas emergency numbers on official pages, so none are listed.

How to find your own state’s numbers

1. Search your state name with “State Disaster Management Authority” and open only a result that ends in .gov.in or .nic.in.
2. Open its Contact or Emergency page and note the State Emergency Operations Centre and disaster helpline.
3. Copy the electricity complaint number from your latest bill or your power company’s own website.
4. Check your state health department or National Health Mission site for 108, 102 and 104.
5. Write the numbers on a card and keep it by the door, next to the details in our 112 call information card guide.
