Target

Emergency contact details are scattered across my phone, email, and a handwritten note, and some entries may have outdated numbers or missing relationship labels.

Obstacle

Contacts are spread across multiple apps and paper notes, so it's unclear which entries are current; I put off confirming details because contacting each person feels time-consuming.

Expectation

A single up-to-date emergency contacts list stored in my contacts app and backed up to the cloud, with verified phone numbers, relationship labels, and a notified primary contact.
