Health
Accidents can happen, and when they do, it's good to be prepared.
Emergencies
If you are ever in need of emergency assistance, dial 9-1-1. This will give you access to the Police Department, the Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Your insurance should cover most of the expenses, but make sure to carry your insurance card around with you at all times. Ambulances can be expensive, so, if calling an ambulance is avoidable, see if a friend can drive you to the hospital/emergency room.
