There is no embrasment about it, I just thought to start it the friendly way <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Better than having appointments and paying $$$$ for someone with fancy certificates. But if it proves necessary, I'll go visit them.

Thank you all. Very good ideas. I like the EDSW (every day sleep wih) items near or below bed. Although I'll think about more ideas to improve the odds.

I dont know, maybe this is too sci fi, but a simplistic intercom could be connected between teh bed and some outside building ( like a shed ) that can be used for comm in case something happen. Problem is, if you tell your neighbors about it now, they'll be able to annoy you in your least favorable times <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And this only takes care of your bedroom. If your office collpases that is another story.

Maybe someone can wear an electronic bracelet to indicates ones location in case of collapse. Oh, wives would love this to track their hubbies. But thats OK with me, have nothing to hide <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any more ideas that are general, for a person buried ANYWHERE and ANYTIME ???
