Emergency Contacts on Phone
In the event of an emergency, it is very useful if people have an emergency contact set up on their phone. If someone is unable to respond, it is possible to find out their emergency contact from their phone without needing permission.
We strongly recommend that all members ensure that they have set up an emergency contact on their phone.
