Emergency

If someone is injured, lost, or overdue on the mountain, call WSAR first. Do not call standard emergency services — this delays mountain rescue deployment. WSAR will coordinate with SANParks and emergency services if needed.

GSM emergency (112) works without airtime and on foreign SIMs. Use it when standard numbers fail.
