Locating Your Family
Plan ahead so your family will know what to do in case you get separated during
an emergency. Designate a place to meet up that is away from your home, like a
relative's home in a neighboring city. If you can't contact your family and friends
directly to let them know you're safe, you can register yourself with one of the
services below:
• National Emergency Family Locator System
Run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), call
1-800-588-9822 to register yourself or family members, or to find someone
else. This service is usually only activated during a major disaster.
• National Emergency Child Locator Center
Also run by FEMA, call 1-866-908-9570 to find a missing child aged 21 or
younger. This service is usually only activated during a major disaster.
Red Cross Safe and Well List
You can register yourself and your family as "safe and well" with the Red
Cross, online at https://disastersafe.redcross.org/. Your information will be
logged into a searchable database that your loved ones can use to find
you.
National Next of Kin Registry
You can archive emergency point-of-contact information at www.nokr.org.
Emergency agencies access the system to locate next of kin in urgent
situations; registered information is not accessible by the general public.
Contact Loved Ones
This organization provides free voice messaging accessible from any
phone. Register at www.contactlovedones.org.
