Most services are in Ruifang, not Jiufen
Police (national emergency line)
For crime in progress or immediate danger. Works from any phone, no area code.
Fire & ambulance (national emergency line)
Fire, rescue and ambulance dispatch. Works from any phone, no area code.
Jiufen Police Substation (九份派出所)
New Taipei City Police, Ruifang Precinct — the local substation actually in Jiufen. Use for non-emergencies (lost property, a parked-car dispute); for anything urgent call 110.
Ruifang District Office (瑞芳區公所)
General municipal administration for the district Jiufen sits in.
Ruifang District Health Clinic (瑞芳區衛生所)
Public health clinic — the nearest routine care to Jiufen, about 5 km down the hill. Weekdays 8:00–17:30.
Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (基隆長庚醫院)
The nearest hospital-level emergency department, reachable by bus 787 from Ruifang. For a genuine emergency, call 119 rather than travelling there yourself.
Central Weather Administration (typhoon & heavy-rain warnings)
The ridge is landslide-prone and the access road (Rd 102) is repeatedly cut in storms — this is the official warning source, not a local number.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Jiufen and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Ruifang Household Registration Office (瑞芳戶政事務所)
ID cards, household registration and residency paperwork.
