15 Emergency Phone Numbers You Should Have Quick Access To.
On Food Storage and Survival blog is a great list of emergency phone numbers that you should have handy. In the case of an emergency, you don't want to waste time trying to find a phone number. Having them handy could be the difference between life and death. Here is a list of 15 emergency phone numbers you should have quick access to:
1. Ambulance.
2. Fire services.
3. Police.
In 98% of the US, 911 will connect you to the nearest emergency dispatch center which covers the first three on this list. If you are living in the other 2% of the US or out of the country, you’ll need the number to contact your ambulance, police, and fire services.
4. Poison Control. 800-222-1222
5. Your physicians. Include any doctors your family visits, including specialists and optometrists. Also your pharmacy.
6. Your dentist.
7. Nearest hospital and/or medical center.
8. The adults of the household. This is normally you and your significant other. Include work and cell phone numbers.
9. Other family members. Kids with cell phones, aunts and uncles, siblings, grandmas and grandpas. Anyone you might need to contact in an emergency.
10. Schools your children attend.
11. Your Ecclesiastical Leaders–Pastor, Priest, Rabbi, Bishop, or anyone else from your church you might need.
12. Neighbors.
13. A nearby emergency contact. Could be a family member or close friend. You might want one in town and one 100 miles away or so.
14. An out of state emergency contact.
15. Veterinarian. For the furry members of the family.
