IMPORTANT NUMBERS

Keep Important Information Handy

Phone Numbers

A list of important numbers is an important part of your emergency preparations. Include phone numbers for:

• An out-of-town contact person (When phone lines are overloaded, calls outside the immediate area may get through when local calls can't. Designate an out-of-town friend or relative to be your family's point of contact.)
• Doctor(s)
• Hospital
• Pharmacist
• Poison Control
• Insurance Providers (medical, home, auto)
• Police department
• Fire department
• Johnson County Public Health or (913) 894-2525
• Johnson County Emergency Management or (913) 782-3038
• Utilities

If you are unsure of the closest hospital, police department or fire department visit Johnson County's AIMS system to map your home and the support functions around it.
