Emergency Contact Script

Asking someone to be your emergency contact is a strange conversation to start.

There's no script for it. You're not asking someone out, and you're not asking for a favor exactly. You're asking, will you be the person who gets the call.

Most of us put this off. It feels heavy, or awkward, or like it might make the other person uncomfortable. So the box on the form stays blank, or gets filled with someone who was never actually asked.

This toolkit gives you the actual words. How to bring it up, what to say, and how to make it easy for them to say yes.

After that, it's just something you both know.

And for me, it has been a huge relief to know that if something happens to me. I have a plan.
