Your Emergency Prep List

Do these before every international trip:

• Save key phrases in your phone's offline notes: "I need help," "I need a doctor," "Call an ambulance"
• Carry a medical card with allergies, medications, blood type, and an emergency contact in English
• Know the local emergency number and save it in your phone
• Photograph your passport and store it in the cloud
• Learn three location phrases: "I'm near [landmark]," "I'm at the corner of [street] and [street]," "I don't know exactly where I am"

Emergencies are rare, but preparation makes the difference between panic and action.
