Call 112 for police, fire and rescue or medical emergencies in Georgia. The official service says the call is free and can be made without phone credit or even a SIM card. The 112 Georgia app adds call, English chat, Silent SOS and a video option reserved for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. It is free and available nationwide, but an older app-store report says registration failed with a foreign SIM. Install only if those extra functions are useful, register and test the non-emergency setup after arrival, and keep an ordinary 112 call as the primary fallback. Never send a test alert or use the app for a non-emergency. The official meteo.gov.ge app from Georgia's National Environment Agency provides local forecasts, maps and weather warnings in English and Georgian. It is more authoritative for Georgian warnings than a generic forecast app, particularly before mountain travel. Enable relevant notifications, read the complete warning and recheck before driving, hiking, skiing or taking a mountain transfer. A forecast does not confirm that a road or trail is open, so pair it with GeoRoad restrictions and local operator advice. Keep the accommodation address, insurance policy, insurer assistance number, passport copy, embassy contact and essential medical details offline. Tell someone the route and expected return time before remote travel. Apps and weather alerts support preparation, but they do not replace emergency services, a qualified mountain guide or an evacuation instruction from local authorities.
