8.3 Insurance

Remember to have your own sufficient travel insurance as DPA and SML do not cover any injuries, broken, missing, or stolen items during your stay. There are no locks on the bedrooms, but the only people staying in the house are people who have applied for a stay through our organizations. If you would like to know who is staying in the house for the same period as yourself, please contact: sml@muusikkojenliitto.fi.

8.4 Emergencies

Call 911 for medical or police assistance.

TIP: Most smartphones have an emergency button or sequence for situations, where calling the emergency number is not possible. Make sure you know how to use your phone in case of such situations.

TIP: If you are using Uber or Lyft and encounter an uncomfortable or dangerous situation with the driver or other passengers, open the app and press the “panic button”, it will automatically call 911.
