Phone Numbers You Should Store In Your Cell Phones for Emergencies

In times of emergencies you may not remember all the important phone numbers you need, or might not be capable to dial them yourself.

Take a few minutes now to program those numbers into your cell phone.

With the invention of cell phones it seems people are less likely to memorize phone numbers than before.  In a panic situation, you don't want to have to start searching for those numbers.


# 1 -  Add ICE  (In Case of Emergencies) numbers.  If you're in the ER after a car accident, who are the 2 or 3 people you would want the nurse to call first to notify ASAP?

Farmers Insurance Disaster Response Vehicles

Have those people as a regular entry by their name, but also as second entry such as  ICE 1, ICE 2, and ICE 3.  (Example:  "ICE 2   Mom")


# 2 -  Your auto insurance company's claims number.  If you get into an accident on the weekend, you don't want to have to try to track down your agent who's out of the office.  Program the direct claims number into your cell phone.  You should be able to find it on your most recent bill, on the Evidence of Insurance which should be in your glove box, or online.


FYI:  Farmers Insurance Claims Number:  1-800-Help Point or  1-800-435-7764


# 3 -  Poison Control for your area...especially if you have children.  Click HERE for our "Poison Control: Pills vs. Candy" blog article.


FYI: California Poison Control -  1-800-222-1222


# 4 -  Your children's Pediatrician's Office for when those questions come up, or your child is in need away from home.

# 5 -  Your local Pet Emergency room.  Has your pet ever gotten injured, swallowed something, or got that pesky burr in their ear on a holiday or weekend?  Their regular vet probably isn't available.  Have a back up number handy.


# 6 -  The number of your local police when 911 isn't necessary but you need to contact them for an non-emergency.
