Local emergency services phone numbers and US and Canadian Embassy info for each country.
Note: Some territories are included in this data.
This data was collected from either the US Embassy website, or the Canadian Embassy website. In cases of discrepancies, further searching for local news articles and other public sources of data (eg - local government websites) were used to determine current info. In some cases, local residents were used to confirm the emergency services phone numbers.
Additionally, this wikipedia page was referenced when no information was available at the embassy websites. However, data here was confirmed from local government website, news sources, or in some cases, local residents.
