Call response
Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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.

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