Adding an "emergency" ("emergency") number to your phone is a smart thing that allows emergency personnel to find your next of kin when something goes wrong. This simple idea was developed by British paramedic Bob Brochey, who recognized the need for speed when personnel are trying to find next of kin during natural disasters. Here's an easy way to alert your loved ones.

Steps

1. 1 Open your mobile phone's address book.
2. 2 Program (enter) "Emergency" - "Emergency" - with the name of your emergency contact in your Speed ​​Dial. For example:
   • - ChS Bob
   • - ChS Mom
   • - Mrs. Crabby's emergency
3. 3 Keep other family members and friends in the loop. Warn family members that you did this and encourage them to do the same. This will help expedite responses from emergency response personnel when they need to decide who to contact if you are injured.
4. 4 Place an emergency sticker on your phone to alert others that you have emergency contact numbers. http://www.icesticker.com

Tips

• Put a dash in front of the letters CHS, so it will be displayed at the top of the list of phone numbers. Insert the person's name after the letters "CHS".
• Why should the personnel responsible for the emergency response contact the next of kin? The main reason may be to get permission to help you when you are hurt. Delay in doing this can lead to a significant deterioration in the condition. Disaster strives to accelerate this process to ensure a quick response. In addition, emergency response personnel can ask questions about allergies, general health, previous emergencies, etc., all information that can help save your organs or life.
• As this is your cell phone / mobile phone, try to always keep it with you and in an accessible area in your pocket or bag so that the paramedic can easily reach it. But don't make it too accessible because it might be stolen or it might fall, break, or just be out of reach when things go wrong.
• Also, keep your phone filled and charged in case emergency services don't have a phone to use yours. And they won't be able to view your phone book if the screen remains blank, judging by the lack of battery.
