Emergency by heryanta
The emergency number to remember in Amsterdam (their equivalent to US' 911) is 112 They, like most people in Holland, speak English. You just need to remember to speak slower than usual as it's not their first language; which I know can be hard in emergency situations.
A list of Dutch words that might be handy in emergency situations:
Police = politie (po-lit-see)
Fire Department = brandweer (brand-weir)
Hospital = ziekenhuis (seek-en-haus)
Doctor = huisarts (haus-arts)
Dentist = tandarts (tand-arts)
