1. A computer-implemented method for providing emergency contact information on a computing device, comprising:
- detecting an emergency phone call that is made using a phone application;
in response to detecting termination of the emergency phone call, (i) retrieving one or more emergency contact information from a memory resource of the computing device, and (ii) presenting the one or more emergency contact information on a display of the computing device;
enabling a user to select one of the one or more emergency contact information; and
in response to the user selecting one of the one or more emergency contact information, initiating a phone call using the selected one of the one or more emergency contact information.

Abstract
A system, a method, and a computer readable storage medium are disclosed for providing emergent contacts by a mobile computing device to a user when such contacts are likely to be desirable by the user. The emergent contacts are selected by the user and can be optionally assigned quick keys on a key pad of the mobile computing device. After an emergent phone call was made using the mobile computing device, the emergent contacts are retrieved and displayed for user selection. When an emergent contact is selected, a phone call to the selected contact is initiated by the mobile computing device.
