I have to strongly disagree with you on this. Some organization that
I've heard of has a motto or slogan or something containing the words
"Be Prepared." :-)

I have this mental picture of a slip and fall with broken leg or worse.
  Having a small easy-to-carry easy-to-use device along for calling for
evac seems like a no-brainer to me. I have mine with me nearly all the
time. Of course, that doesn't mean it's necessarily turned on for
receiving calls.
