Solar-powered cell phones for Emergencies

As one of the safety measures implemented along the coast of northern Lake Michigan, the Water Safety Team of Mackinac County has placed solar-powered cell phones at the beach parking lots for quick access to emergency 911, reports the Duluth News Tribune. "Other measures include handing out brochures, placed signs and created "rescue stations" -- wooden boxes containing lifesaving equipment such as life rings, life vests and rescue boards."
