EENA is delighted to announce the launch of the 112 Foundation. The 112 Foundation was created to save lives by promoting the knowledge and appropriate use of the European emergency number 112. The 112 Foundation was proposed and established by EENA - the European Emergency Number Association - in cooperation with its Advisory Board.  Its main objective is to offer free campaign materials to all citizens and organisations willing to inform and educate on the 112.

"When every second counts, knowing how and when it's appropriate to call 112 is essential. The education efforts of the 112 Foundation will enhance the knowledge of our people and save lives", said Mike Amarosa  - TruePosition's Senior VP Public Affairs -, President of the Board of Directors of the 112 Foundation.

The new 112 Foundation's website was launched in the framework of the European 112 Day (11/2/2009) and is now available at www.112foundation.eu
