On your phone (iPhone and Android) there are options to set an Emergency contact. This contact shows up on the lock screen of the phone including their phone numbers, and at least on my android device those number(s) can even be called without unlocking the device. I have my wife and father.
This can be really helpful for first responders if you’re involved in an accident or have a medical episode that leaves you unconscious, or even if you’re just seriously hurt and you can’t call someone yourself easily.
It can also be helpful for figuring out who the phone belongs to, in case you lose it. I have 100% dialed emergency contacts to be like “hey, whoever owns this phone lost it. Let them know that we have it at the front desk for [building], and they can come pick it up there.”
