Whether you live alone, or spend any time alone, you're likely to face a scenario where you're going to need to reach someone. It might be that you've fallen, or you're simply stuck and can't get to your normal sources of communication. Trust me, it's something you want to plan for because when it happens and you can't reach help, you'll have plenty of time to wish you had planned.
There are many ways to do it, a cell phone that you always keep on you, one of those systems where you simply press a button and a call center answers, or the more sophisticated ones that can tell you've fallen without having to push any button. Shop around, because some of these can be pricey.
One of my problems has been that my cell phone does not work in my underground parking. That was taken care of by installing a 'phone repeater' which basically increases the signal strength in confined spaces.
Think about ways to deal with these kind of situations beforehand, and avoid having to swear at yourself with your loud outside voice...
