Call response
I agree with Charles that a 12-hour response time hardly qualifies as an emergengy/urgent action. The reference below may help (it also mentions being "on call" when talking about shift work).

urgent response
it obviously isn't an emergency (life or property at risk) if it takes up to 12 hours to respond.

actually, after consideration, I would prefer the term \"on-call service\" = An on-call service response will occur within 12 hours...

I would prefer \"on-call response\" too - but since the text refers to a \"larm\" perhaps urgent is the better translation in this context.

Paoletrix
: I agree that "emergency" and "urgent" aren't entirely appropriate in this case. I vote for "on-call response".
