To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.
One small point, and I hope this isn't too bothersome: there's no need for a photograph showing emergency numbers. Those should simply be added in prose as needed to the "Cope" section of an article.
All the best,
