How Do I Set Up My Emergency Contact?

Adding an emergency contact gives the Couchsurfing team someone to reach out to on your behalf if anything ever comes up. It's quick to set up, totally private, and one of those things that's nice to have in place just in case.

What Information Do I Need to Provide?

You'll need a few details about the person you're listing:

• Name
• Phone Number
• Email
• Relationship
• Preferred Language

1. Tap Library in the bottom navigation bar

A Couple Things to Know:
