Setting Up Your Emergency Contacts

23d ago · 2 min read

Your emergency contacts are the people SafeSaathi reaches out to during an SOS, an automatically detected crash, or a missed scheduled check-in. Adding them takes a minute, and it's worth doing before you need it.

Adding a contact

Go to Profile, then Emergency Contacts, and add a name and phone number. If the person also uses SafeSaathi, linking their account lets them see richer detail — like your live location during an active alert — instead of just an SMS.

How many should I add?

Most people add two or three — someone nearby who could physically reach them, and a family member who should always know. You can reorder them by priority; the first contact is tried first.

Key takeaways

  • Emergency contacts are notified during SOS, crash detection, and missed check-ins.
  • Linking a contact's own SafeSaathi account unlocks live-location viewing during an alert.
  • Contacts are tried in the priority order you set.
