# Emergency contacts and references

After creating a person's profile in Loopit, you can enrich their profile by adding additional personal information. This includes emergency contacts, references, and employment details. These fields help you maintain a complete view of the individual, which can be especially useful for credit assessment, communication, and customer support.

## How to add emergency contacts and references

Once a person's profile is created, scroll down to the **"Emergency Contacts and References"** section to begin entering this information.
