I . C . E . (IN CASE OF EMERGENCY)
Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's
identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they
are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE.
ICE stands for In Case of Emergency.
If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE,
with the name and phone no. of the person
that the emergency services should call on your behalf,
you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly.
It only takes a few moments of your time to do.
Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately.
ICE your cell phone NOW!
Please pass this one along!

2) Documents, passports, etc.
3) Photo album
4) Portable hard drive or laptop where you could have pictures and documents stored

these things organized, especially since we often travel.
Your children should know that in the event of....take the portable hard drive, etc.

We should never need this list! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A VERY IMPORTANT TIP re FIRE!

You probably already know this, but.. a  good reminder for the new year...
  
Kitchen Fire - Read first then watch
  
Read the bottom message before viewing the video.
  
I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits
all lid to cover a fire in a pan!  
  This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to
deal with a common kitchen fire:
Oil in a  frying pan.  
Read the following Introduction, then  watch the show
It's a real eye-opener!!
At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate
this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire  field.  
An instructor would don a fire suit and using an
8 oz cup at the end of a 10-foot pole toss water
onto the grease fire.  The results got the attention of the students.  
   
Water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom
where it instantly becomes superheated.  The explosive
force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out.
On the open field, it became a thirty foot high
fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the
confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling
and fills the entire room.  
   
Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire.
One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
