It's worth noting that emergency settings aren't consistent across all Android devices. Many of Android's emergency features live within the Personal Safety app, which is automatically installed on all Pixel phones (4a and later). A version of this app is available to other Android users through the Google Play Store, though it may be labeled just "Safety" in your app list once downloaded and have different functionality across non-Pixel devices.
In Personal Safety, go to Safety Check, select the reason and duration for your check-in, and hit Next. Choose the contacts you want notified in case of emergency, and hit Start. You can notify your emergency contacts upfront—they'll receive a text with your name as well as Safety Check reason and duration. When you get the Safety Check prompt, choose from I'm OK. Don't Share, Start sharing now, or Call 911.
Add emergency contacts and medical information to Personal Safety
Medical information to add allergies, medications, blood type, and other health data, and Your info > Emergency contacts > Add contact to pull from your existing contact list. Then tap Emergency info access > Show when locked to make this information available from your Pixel lock screen. All someone has to do is swipe up on your lock screen and tap Emergency > View emergency info.
Location > Location services > Emergency Location Service or Google Emergency Location Service.
Emergency SOS > Start setup. From here, you can add an emergency services number, turn on assisted calling, select contacts to share information with, and enable emergency video recording. Tap Done when you're finished. You can also select the activation method: either Touch & hold to start actions or Start actions automatically. (In an emergency, these options are activated after you press the power button quickly five times or more.)
Set up emergency alerts on Google Pixel
Notifications > Wireless emergency alerts. Crisis alerts, meanwhile, provide localized information with links to Google Search results about the emergency. These are on by default, but you can adjust them under Settings > Safety & emergency > Crisis alerts. Finally, Android can provide earthquake alerts in certain areas (California, Oregon, and Washington in the U.S.) if you enable them under Settings > Safety & emergency > Earthquake alerts.
Car Crash Detection > Set up. You'll need to allow location sharing when the app is in use and allow microphone and physical activity sharing at all times. If your device does detect a crash, it'll send a prompt asking if you need help and automatically call emergency services if you don't respond.
Put a message on your Pixel's lock screen
Access Satellite SOS when you're out of service
Like on iOS, Android allows you to connect to emergency services via satellite if you don't have cellular data or wifi. This is available on Pixel 9 and later (except Pixel 9a) and works only with Google Messages as the default messaging app. When you attempt to dial 911 (or the emergency number in your area) when you're out of service, you'll see a Satellite SOS button. Tap and select Use Satellite SOS > Start. Follow the prompts to answer questions about your situation, notify emergency contacts, connect to a satellite, and open a text conversation with first responders.
