Add an Alexa Emergency Contact

Use the Alexa app to add your Alexa Emergency Contact.

Note: If the information for your emergency contact changes in your phone, it won't update with Alexa until you open the Alexa app.

Open the Alexa app .
Select More .
Select Communicate .
Select the contacts icon .
Select the menu icon , then select Emergency Contact.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Your emergency contact receives a text message notifying them that they've been added as your emergency contact.

Tip: In your address book, make sure that you don’t have a contact with "help" or "emergency" in the name. Alexa may call that contact when you say "Call for help."
