Emergency services in Sylhet are integrated into Bangladesh's national emergency response system.
* **National Emergency Number:** Dial **999** for immediate access to police, fire, and ambulance services. * **Police:** The Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP) oversees law enforcement within the city, while the Bangladesh Police district commands cover the wider division. * **Fire & Rescue:** The Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense operates stations throughout the division to handle fires, water rescues, and natural disaster responses (such as seasonal flooding). * **Disaster Management:** The local government, alongside NGOs and the Red Crescent Society, actively manages disaster relief, particularly during the monsoon season when flash floods frequently affect the lower-lying areas and *haors*.
