How can a newly arrived household prepare an emergency information card?

Write the essentials

For immediate danger or a need for urgent assistance in Greece, 112 is the free emergency number. 112 is the free emergency number. Verify Greek public-warning alert arrangements separately with the competent Greek authority.; distinguish receiving an alert from requesting help.

Record the full property address, village/municipality, map coordinates or pin and a short access description if the entrance is difficult to find. Add a trusted local contact, an alternative household contact and essential communication needs. Ask a clinician which critical allergies or medical details are appropriate for a carry card rather than copying an entire history.

Make it usable

Keep a pocket version and a home version in a known place. Consider Greek location wording checked by a competent speaker. Explain the card to household members and carers without placing a practice emergency call. Keep routine clinic, insurer and maintenance contacts on a separate page.

Do not include passwords, full passport details or unnecessary medical records. Obtain listed contacts’ agreement, date the card and revise it when the address, care needs or contacts change. The card aids communication; it does not replace emergency assistance or professional instructions.
