Let's make a list of 3 people whom you can call in case of an emergency if you can't reach me.  These are trusted people that we can both reach in case we can't reach each other.

Remember to also include 911 in this conversation, and if your child has a cell phone - how they need to hit *911 first.  Many children do not know and just dialing 911 on a cellular phone will not work on many phones.
