In the first half of this year, the 1-1-2 service have answered a total of 375,379 calls which represents a daily average of 2,074 per day. Of these calls, 112,804 were classified as emergencies (an increase of more than 15% compared to 2021).
The growth was due partly to the increase in Covid-19 cases in the first quarter of 2022, as well as a greater number of public events following the relaxation of restrictions and an increase in citizen mobility.
Of the total number of calls, 59% required the activation of a service, while the remaining 41% were resolved over the phone.
The service has seen an almost 10% increase in requests, from the 341,361 resolved in the first half of 2019 to the 375,379 that have been recorded from January to June this year.
