Show HN: I made an emergency page for my family. You should too

A Brazilian developer created an emergency web page that sends SMS and email alerts with geolocation data to designated contacts, addressing concerns about being without a phone due to robbery, dead batteries, or device failure. The open-source tool allows users to quickly notify family or friends for help or to communicate critical information when unable to use their phone normally.

I have a bad memory and can't memorize some important numbers, so I created this project.

I've always been concerned about being without my phone (getting robbed - which is common in Brazil - running out of battery, having it break, etc.), so I decided to create a page that sends SMS messages (LLM-summarized) and emails with more detailed information such as geolocation, IP address, and the full message.

It’s a simple page that allows sending one or more messages, with recipients being myself and other people - for example, in case I or they need help or need to communicate something important.
