Emergencies that pose an immediate risk to health, life or one’s property occur all the time and unplanned events can pop up completely out of nowhere. We can never be sure what can happen next in life. That is why we should be prepared for unpleasant situations that we do not really expect all the ways we can. One way to be prepared is to have certain numbers on speed dial. There is a list of numbers every woman should have on her phone, in case something unplanned and troublesome happens.

Poison control

No matter how careful you are with the food you consume, things can go wrong and you or your family member can end up in the hospital for food poisoning. This is especially the case if you have small children or pets as they are more likely to put something harmful in their mouth. Maybe you have never had a problem like this in the past, but you should be prepared because it can happen at any time.

An electrician

Most of us aren’t trained to deal with electrical wiring, but luckily, there are people who are specialized in this field. You should definitely have the phone number of a good emergency electrician on your speed dial in case an electrical issue you don’t know how to handle occurs. Do not try to fix these kinds of problems on your own unless you know what you’re doing, the risk of injury or property damage is simply too high.

A neighbor that you trust

If you have a neighbor that is also a close friend, then there is no reason why their number shouldn’t be on your speed dial. You never know what can happen and it can come in quite handy. There should be at least one person you can count on in the case a really unpleasant situation occurs. Maybe you are away from home, but you suddenly remember you forgot to turn off your stove, or the iron. You cannot come back any time soon, so the neighbor can check it out for you.

A utility company

When you have to face a terrible gas leak or power outage, you should know that a utility company is well equipped to handle any situation of this kind very quickly and effectively. That is why you should have this number on your phone as well. You should also familiarize yourself with the services they’re in charge of, if you weren’t already.

A locksmith

Locking yourself out of the house can be one of the most stressful things that you could ever experience. It is even worse if you really need to go to the bathroom, and you are not able to because of this problem. Or imagine a situation that your child stayed at home and you locked yourself out of it. Hopefully, these specific situations will never happen, but if you do lock yourself out, having a locksmith’s number on speed dial definitely comes in handy.

The list of numbers to call during an emergency is a long one. Yet, here you could read about several examples that could be of help. Hopefully, you will not have any problem of this kind any time soon, but even if you do, with these numbers, you can feel safer and more comfortable. If a problematic situation occurs, you will be prepared.
