There are many reasons why people don't tell their friends and family where they're going before they set out.
Sometimes it's simply because they want to be free to change their plans.
Another reason is that they don't want their friends and family to worry about them - needlessly.
Using SendanSOS.com offers several advantages:
- You can avoid worrying your emergency contacts until there is an emergency!
- You can easily change your travel plan.
- The travel plan is in writing - not just verbal and easily forgotten or muddled.
- The service can notify many emergency contacts - simultaneously.
These are good tools to help improve your safety. You should continue to use them.
Even if you do have these tools you may still find SendanSOS.com a useful service to handle scenarios such as:
- You become unconscious (medical or accident cause).
- Your emergency equipment is damaged or fails to operate.
- You become separated from your emergency equipment.
- You're held against your will.
- You're trapped underground!
There is no registration fee.
To be an emergency contact for someone is also free.
