Security
By international standards, the Netherlands is a safe country to live in. But it is very important to always lock away your belongings or to keep an eye on them, that you lock your door, and in particular that you furnish your bike with a decent padlock. You always have to be on your guard for pickpockets, in particular on markets, in busy shops or in the bar.
You can get insurance to insure your belongings against theft and accidental damage.
It is also wise to have a liability insurance.
In an emergency where there is a danger to life or a crime is in progress, you can contact the police, fire brigade or ambulance by dialing 112 from any phone (free of charge).
