Why a folder? There are multiple 'home' screens available and these 
theoretically useful apps can just be placed on, lets say, the last one. As 
one thinks of new possibilities they can be placed there and if they later 
seem to be of less use they can be removed. I can't actually think of too 
many apps that would be useful only in an emergency and only in an 
emergency since they come in an infinite number of forms. Personally I keep 
a 'daily' screen, a 'news and information' screen, a 'travel' screen, and 
an 'entertainment' screen. Guess I could move some stuff around and have 
'emergency' one at the end. Just me, I guess...
