What happens if you have an accident or some health issue and you need some help? How do people around you know who to contact, etc. I've had two instances in the neighborhood this last half year or so where family members needed to be contacted, insurance information found, personal doctor, where you would want to be treated, allergies, medical conditions, etc. and there was no immediate or clear way to accomplish that. For many people living in a household, there are always family members immediately around but for single people -or even if the other family members are away for the evening or day... and most of us are not getting younger year by year. This kind of question slowly becomes more relevant as time goes on.
I'm thinking that as a neighborhood we might be able to figure out some ways of helping this idea out that don't compromise privacy and security. Maybe most of us could find some other trusted person or persons in the neighborhood that could have enough of that information and then let other people know who has that info.
Thoughts? Ideas? Let me know!
