Good to know you are safe and sound vs Good to hear you made it safe and sound

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in slightly different contexts. 'Good to know you are safe and sound' is often used when you're aware of someone's safety without them directly letting you know. On the other hand, 'Good to hear you made it safe and sound' is used when you're acknowledging someone's safe arrival after a journey or event.
