Cell Phones and Emergencies

Too many people overlook the potential of the cell phone when dealing with emergencies. Most people see cell phones as simple communication devices – and they are that. But they are also so much more. Whether you own a cell phone or not, you should not overlook how a cell phone can save your life, or the lives of the people you love.

Many people have been conditioned to call the authorities when catastrophe strikes. When the emergency occurs at home, it is not hard to get assistance. You simply dial 911 and you will get the help you need. But what happens when the problem occurs at an inopportune time and place? It might still be easy enough to get help if you’re in the big city – someone else can call for you.

But what if no one is around to assist you, and there is no way to contact the people who can help? What happens if your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere? What happens when you have a heart attack while you’re hiking in the woods? What happens when you run out of supplies in storm, and the phone lines are down?

Having a cell phone will solve this little dilemma. With a cellular phone, you will have the ability to communicate to anyone in the country, no matter where you may be at the moment. You will be able to keep in touch with not only your family and friends, but also with the police, the fire department, and even your hospital. And when a dreaded emergency strikes, you won’t be caught unprepared. I’m sure you’ll agree: the price of a cell phone subscription is a small price to pay for your personal safety.
