Suggested Caring Alert System ...

Re: Suggested Caring Alert System ...

Great idea! Everyone should serriously consider doing this!! I know exactly who I'm going to team up with here(my former Ango partner.....if he is willing :wink: ) and I'll leave detailed instructions with my wife as well.

I have tried to impress upon my husband the importance of informing you all of any "emergency situation" but I'm afraid all that will go out the window if anything did happen to me - which, of course, he refuses to entertain the possibility! He has your email addy, Jundo, and my username on here, so one can hope he'll think to contact you at some point, if anything happens.

This is a fantastic idea, and the idea of ango partners being thier alert buddy is really clever (for those whom it would apply).

Emergency Offsite Contacts

Hi all

This arose from something Ishin said on another thread but I thought it needed its own thread rather than be posted there. Perhaps this has already been dealt with as an issue?

It occurred to me that if something happened to me and I was unable to use a computer, no one here would have any clue where I went or that I was in any way in trouble. Even my wife probably wouldn't know how to inform anyone. Wouldn't it be a good idea for us to be able to at least call people or something if they suddenly are gone?

The same thing has occurred to me on more than one occassion, and after Bobby's recent post it has become even more apparent that is needed.

On a voluntary basis there should maybe be:
1. a list of people to contact should we not hear from a Treeleaf person for a certain period of time (firstly, probably by contacting the member themself on an off-site email, secondly through the email or telephone of a loved one of the member).
2. someone close to us who knows to contact Treeleaf to let them know if we have an accident, are in hospital or (in the worst case scenario) die unexpectedly. Other sanghas I have been part of could also be instructed to hold the appropriate ceremony for a deceased member of the community (to be held in addition to rather than instead of a family funeral). I don't know if that is the case here and if Jundo would want to lead a sangha ceremony in this way.

Anyway, just thoughts and I can't imagine this hasn't already been thought about.

Kokuu,

We do have such a system, but it only works if people do it:

Thanks, Dosho.

I figured this would have been discussed before.

I will set it in place.

Hi Nindo,


I was fortunate to have an address in the recent case. However, recent events have led to a discussion of rejuvenating our system here. Details soon.

Gassho, J

[Jundo]

There has been some discussion of this today, Kokuu, and I will have some details soon of a system upgrade. Please stand by.

I am going to merge this thread to the other for now.

Hi All,

I found the old thread a few months ago, and gave Jundo’s contact info to my sweetie, in case something should happen to me. I put it in an email so he could find it easily. Also added Jundo to my “contact in case of my death” list in my file that has all my important papers. Recent events do point up a need to have contact info for those who wish it.
