Mexico City - Emergencies
As soon as you touch ground in Mexico City, find out in the yellow pages which emergency telephone numbers correspond to the city/county/neighborhood you live in. Your realtor could be a good help. There are a few centralized numbers for emergencies, but I strongly recommend that you get the telephone number of your nearest Police, Firemen and Red Cross facilities.
