Though no one likes to think about terrible things happening, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. Thankfully, there are people ready to help when tragedy strikes.
The Warrick County Coroner’s Office is asking everyone to take a few minutes to update the emergency contact information on their phone. If you’re ever involved in a serious accident or medical emergency, first responders may need a fast way to reach your loved ones.
