How to Add Emergency Contacts to Your Profile in the Member Directory

Adding emergency contacts to your profile gives people closest to you the opportunity to be contacted if something unforeseen happens to you. In the context of a group, admins have a responsibility to their members. So when members add their emergency contacts, it gives admins some peace of mind. No one can predict when these contacts will be needed, so why not err on the side of caution and add this layer of safety to your profile?
