Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ask someone to be my emergency contact?

Be direct and specific. Explain what being your emergency contact means, what they'd need to do, and how often they might be contacted. Our templates handle this for you in a clear, respectful way.

How many emergency contacts should I have?

At least two. Having multiple contacts ensures someone is always available. Ideally, choose people in different locations and with different schedules.

What information should my emergency contact have?

They should know your daily routine, any medical conditions, your home address, your doctor's contact info, and what actions to take if you don't check in.
