A facsimile machine has a key input part having a plurality of operation keys, a communication unit for communicating data with an exterior facsimile, a storage unit for storing an emergency message and at least one facsimile number, and a control unit for reading out the emergency message from the storage unit as any one operation key is selected among a plurality of operation keys on the key input part under the emergency notice mode. The control unit further directs the communications unit to transmit the emergency message to at least one registered facsimile numbers. Thus, even a person who has a poor recognition of a telephone number or numbers and requires care by other people, can easily send out an emergency message to a guardian at a remote place by a simple key operation.
