What should I do in a serious emergency as a US citizen in Singapore?

For serious situations (arrest, death, or crisis), contact the nearest US Embassy or Consulate — find current contact details at state.gov before you travel. The State Department's STEP program also lets you register your trip so the embassy can reach you in a crisis.

Should I save these numbers before I travel to Singapore?

Yes — save the local emergency numbers to your phone before you land, since data or wifi may not be available exactly when you need them.
