Skye,
I think the phone number on the list is probably a bad idea in this world
we live in. While not a perfect solution, I would recommend that you put
email addresses and towns of residence on the list and have the tripper
send email to the necessary people before disembarking on a voyage. For
emergencies, you could have key volunteers in various parts of the
country/continent/world with their phone numbers published. Those folks
could then maintain the phone numbers for the people in their area that
provide them.
Not perfect, but a start??
Scott
