In an emergency, fumbling for the right number wastes precious seconds. Setting up your contacts in advance, on your phone, your fridge, and with your family, means help is always one tap away.
The Essential List
- 911 for any life-threatening emergency.
- Local non-emergency line for police and reporting.
- Poison control and nurse hotlines for medical questions.
- Two trusted personal contacts who can act on your behalf.
Set Up Your Phone
Add emergency contacts to your phone's medical ID so responders can reach them even from a locked screen. Enable emergency SOS and store key numbers as favorites for one-tap dialing.
Don't Forget Analog Backups
Post a printed list where everyone can find it, especially helpful for kids, babysitters, and guests who may not have your phone. Make sure children know how and when to call 911.
Round out your plan with family emergency preparedness and protecting your family from crime.
