Security Tip Saturday

A friend of mine is getting ready to go on a two week trip, and part of his pre-trip preparation was putting together a list of important "just in case" phone numbers and other info for his wife while he is away. His wife and I talked about this, and we decided that this is something that everyone should have - not just for people left at home while a family member is away or for kids at home during the summer, but for everyone. We all don't think too clearly when an emergency or crisis occurs, and having a list like this would make things a lot easier. In addition to having these phone numbers stored on your cell phone, you should have a copy or two of them on paper to keep at your home and office.  Here's a list of numbers and other info that we all should have, just in case: 

Local fire department (for non-emergency)
Local police department (for non-emergency)
Water company
Power company
Sewer system provider
Poison control
All doctors used by all family members
