No need at all.  As I posted elsewhere, the person sharing their position with another person can set it to share with that person indefinitely in Find My on their iPhone.

 The OP's family don't have iphones.

On Android there are many apps for sharing exact location via the GPS
coordinates, where if that same capability is on iOS, then at least sharing
of a location can be done on an on-demand basis with other family members.
An example of an app I use all the time to share my location is
GPS to SMS location sharing by Tralchonok Labs <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.perm.trubnikov.gps2sms>
It's open source software so I looked to see if it was ever ported to iOS.

Unfortunately, it's only ported to Android so it will work only one way.

But it's such useful functionality that a similar app should exist for iOS since all it does is send the location & a map to an emergency contact set.
