Emergencies in St. George's

Good to Know

• 911 covers Police and Fire, but ambulance service is dispatched via separate hospital-specific numbers — for St. George's, that's 434 for the General Hospital, not 911. Save this number separately if you're staying in town.
• If you're on or near the water, the Coast Guard can be reached on 399 or VHF Channel 16 in addition to the direct line.
• Grenada sits in the Atlantic hurricane belt (June–November); NaDMA's website and Facebook page are the best real-time source for storm alerts and shelter locations rather than any single dedicated app.
• There isn't a widely publicized dedicated government emergency app for the general public — rely on 911/direct lines plus NaDMA's official channels for disaster alerts.
• Grenada does not use a formal ACS-style 'trauma level' rating system — General Hospital in St. George's is simply the island's main public referral point for serious trauma and emergencies.
• For complex or highly specialized trauma cases, patients are sometimes stabilized locally and then referred or medically evacuated to better-equipped facilities on other islands, so travelers with serious pre-existing conditions may want evacuation insurance.
• The national emergency number in Grenada is 911; keep this and a hospital's direct line saved before you need it.
