My Dad and Mom,
my brothers, my sister, my wife, my very close friends. Any of them would
help me in an emergency situation. I guess it would depend on the type
of emergency and location, whoever could get there the quickest.
(PS - Yes, I just turned 30 yesterday).

Are you assuming that distance to said person is not a factor? Assuming that to be true, my emergency contact would be my brother...of course, if distance is a factor, I guess I could not use him, as he is a few states away from me...

my family, my boyfriend, or my best friend (or all of the above!) depending on the situation
Cara,

My husband. Absolutely.

the person closest to me physically is my friend Lori. However emotionally it would be my sister or my friend Shayna.
Felicia,
36
Lowell, MA USA
It would depend on the emergency, but in most situations it would be my daughter.
Jane,
63
West Linn, OR USA
My husband.

Part of the nature of an emergency is that you must cope, with or without reinforcements. Once the immediate situation has been stabilized, the nature of the reinforcement depends on the problem. I wouldn't summon my loving family for a plumbing crisis or call a plumber for a family muddle.

My Mother. She's already helped me through a few tough times, and I know I can count on her one hundred percent.
Tam
I'd call my sister-in-law Sherre. She's very level headed, always has her cell phone with her, and is good at getting things done or finding someone who knows what to do.
Cathie,

Novi, MI USA
Probably my mom.

My husband or my sister Karen -- depending on the emergency.
Laura,
37
Lowell, MA USA
My best friends Rachael and Jeff and my mom.
Triana,
29
Austin, TX USA
My sisters.

In an emergency I'd call my friends up before family, and it would probably be either my best friends Madison or Doug. If that didn't work then I'd call on my brothers. I'd take care of the problem by myself before I'd let my parents know.

Depends on what kind of support. "Pick me up at the hospital" or "take care of the car" could easily be handled by my girlfriend. For the "I need bail money" type of support I'd probably call one of my old poet friends.
Alias Irrelevante
My husband, of course. But if he wasn't available I'd call on my good friend Sandy or her husband Richard.
Reba,

Gaithersburg, MD USA
BF, cops, mom - in that order.
Firelady,
24
Frisco, TX USA
Depends on the nature of the emergency, but my first call would be to my husband - especially if it was an immediate need. If it was a medical diagnosis, I would call my mom. If it was a financial matter, I would call my dad.
Cindy,

That is totally dependent upon the situation. An emergency might mean a loved one was hurt, in which case I couldn't call upon the loved one. And, for that matter, in some emergency situations (like if I ended up in a bad car accident) I wouldn't be able to call upon anyone. So I don't know.
Karen,
23
Ames, IA USA
It would depend on the situation, but either my husband, Mom or sister.
Tracy,
24
Ocean City, NJ USA
My fiance.

I am blessed with a support group that can't be beat. It is my family who would help doing anything. I don't know anyone else who has a family like that and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
