You always remember to put the numbers of friends and family in your cell phone’s address book. You should also make sure to include some vital numbers that will come in handy if you find yourself in a situation that requires immediate attention. Here’s what I came up with, what would you add to the list?

1. Local Law Enforcement - for those events that aren’t 911 worthy but still important (like fender benders).

2. Poison Control Center - 1-800-222-1222 You should have this number wherever you are, poisonings don’t just happen at home.

3. Your Bank(s) - for questions on your account and stopping payment on checks.

4. Customer Service for your Credit Cards - in case your credit cards are stolen.

5. Family Doctor/Pediatrician/Dentist - for those medical emergencies that require your physician’s assistance. Having Your dentist’s emergency number is a must, having a dental disaster on the weekend sucks!

6. Automobile Insurance Agent - for car related disasters.

7. Home Insurance Agent - for home related disasters.

8. Health Insurance Customer Service - for prequalification calls and insurance questions. Helpful when you’re at the hospital and run into problems.

9. Your Children’s School - some how, some way, you’ll call them sooner or later.

10. Your Pharmacist - useful for any questions you have about your medications and for phoning in refills.
