Primary Contact
Full name, relationship, mobile and alternate phone numbers; preferred notification method and best time to reach.
A current emergency contact form reduces response time, clarifies who to notify, and documents consent for sharing limited information with first responders or medical personnel. It supports duty-of-care obligations and can limit liability by showing proactive safety procedures.
Maintain a copy in both tenant records and an accessible emergency file for first responders and authorized staff.
Full name, relationship, mobile and alternate phone numbers; preferred notification method and best time to reach.
Alternate person if primary unavailable; include phone, email, and relationship to the tenant.
Unit number, building name, floor, and any access instructions to help responders locate the tenant quickly.
Optional limited medical notes (allergies, medications) only when consented; avoid collecting protected health details without HIPAA controls.
Clear language indicating who may access the form, when information will be shared, and a withdrawal procedure.
Tenant or authorized representative signature with date and printed name to confirm accuracy and consent.
Ensure the platform you select supports your privacy obligations and captures an audit trail of who accessed or updated the form.
