SOS info & readiness

What to keep in Emergency and how to use it under stress.

Last updated 2026-08-08

Overview

SOS info is the short, high-signal context someone may need quickly: who to call, key notes you choose to store, and shortcuts to related materials like Care Wallet or medication lists.

Keep it brief and current. Long essays are hard to use in an emergency.

Why use it

Prepared notes help caregivers and first responders focus on what matters if you cannot speak for yourself.

Where to find it

How to

  1. 1
    Fill contacts first

    Link readiness materials

    Keep Care Wallet cards and an up-to-date medication list available for visits and urgent care.

  4. 4
    Practice the path

    Open Emergency via Quick Dial once so the gesture is familiar.

Troubleshooting

Should I put my full history in Emergency?

No. Keep it short. Store detailed documents in Records/Care Wallet and point helpers there if needed.

Continue with Care Wallet and medication list sharing.
