What numbers do you think are most important for the health and safety of your family?

my emergency #s always include the pediatrician, dentist, local hospital, and my emergency contact (family friend) just in case. Local poison control should be in there too, as many questions that could be asked of them get asked of 9-1-1 emergency operators.

I have the nearest Doctors Now (a walk-in urgent care clinic) on my cell's "favorite" numbers list. They're always my first call when things go wrong -- and are wonderfully helpful either coaching me through an at-home remedy or directing us to the ER. We're teaching our eldest how to dial 9-1-1 as well. I hate thinking about a family emergency plan ... but having one in place is so important.

I have a list of docs, pedis, dentists, local police, fire, and all emergency contacts on the fridge, just in case my 14 yo is home alone and something should happen. I have them all in my cell as well. We have a fire escape plan, tornado plan, and just in case, I know CPR for adults and infants. I am teaching my 3 yo to dial 911 as well.

Living in earthquake land - I've got an emergency back pack ready to go stashed in a safe location that the hubs and I are both knowledgeable about. In the pack I've got directions to the nearest safe-spot, important contact addresses and phone numbers, as well as family pics and lovey-items to get our babe through (paci/stuffed animal/blanket). Having a wee tot means having our pediatrician's 24-hour-emergency number saved in all our phones along with the local hospital. I also have my mom and sister's numbers memorized because they are my first go-to for questions about non-emergency situations! Gotta love mamas with experience! sarahlipoff.com

Sarah: We lived in San Francisco too and we still have the emergency packs that we had then. Back then we also had some things under the bed: a crowbar (in case we needed it to out of the bedroom) and a pair of shoes for each family member in a plastic baggie (to keep the class out). Just being prepared like that made us feel a lot better! FUnny story: we moved from SF to Knoxville and the day after we got here: earthquake in Knoxville!! No kidding. Motherboard just did this story on must-know numbers. Some good info in there.
