Emergency Contact Numbers
Monday, November 6th, 2006On Friday night, I got a phone call and had a very interesting conversation:
“This is Chief So-and-So from the Minneapolis Fire Department. Do you know Laurie S.?”
“Uh, vaguely. I just met her at a dinner party I hosted a few nights ago. Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, there was a little garage fire here and she’s got your name and number written down here. We’re just trying to locate her.”
I thought it was a bit strange that they contacted me but really, how would they know that I had just met Laurie the other day? Think about it for a moment…if you had a garage fire, would first responders or even your neighbors know how to contact you?
So take a moment today to post your own name and cell phone number, along with other important emergency #’s, somewhere in your own home like on the fridge or by your landline phone. Choose an obvious place where someone can find it in a hurry!!
