Luckily the Nora-App is in progress. It lets you send an emergency request (in germany) directly from the app.

Unfortunately it was temporarily taken out of the App Stores. But I have a (seemingly) working version on my phone and it seems to have everything you would need. (Only used it once in test-mode, tho. Luckily I never actually had to send an emergency request)

I suggest to all my fellow german lemmings to keep an eye out on https://www.nora-notruf.de/ and check it once in while.

Better to have the app (when registrations are open again) and never need it than vice versa.

For deaf people (in germany) there is also https://www.tess-relay-dienste.de/
