In your cell phone contact list, type ICE next to family members' numbers. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency and allows emergency workers to contact family members more quickly if you are in an accident or some other unfortunate situation where you cannot make the call yourself.

Keeping with this train of thought, it's also a good idea to have an emergency contact listed inside your home or office, near the phone.
I had a burglary a few years ago where the people were at work, and someone had kicked in their front door. We had no way of getting a hold of the residents, because even though we knew their names, we had no idea where they worked or how to get a hold of them.
The same for businesses. If someone breaks out the window in the middle of the night, I need to know who to call to come and attend to the business. Many times I'll just start flipping through the Rolodex and start waking people up at 4 in the morning until I find someone who can respond.
It would make things much easier if, near the phone, you'd write "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" and put your cell number there.
