Activation of the number 1722 for risk of storm or flood
The Royal Belgian Meteorological Institute (IRM) having issued a bad weather warning for next night, the FPS Interior indicated on Saturday afternoon that the number 1722 and the e-desk www.1722.be are activated. This is the emergency call number for storm and water damage and when no life is in danger.
The 1722.be electronic counter is the most direct way to request help from the firefighters, specifies the FPS Interior, a request which is transmitted directly to them. But it is also possible to call 1722.
The number 112 is reserved for situations where a life is in danger.
