I need service notifications while host is down

As per documentation:
"Typically this is done by pinging the host and seeing if any response 
is received. If the host check commmand returns a non-OK state, Nagios 
assumes that there is a problem with the host. In this situation Nagios 
will "silence" all potential alerts for services running on the host and 
just notify the appropriate contacts that the host is down or unreachable."

I need to receive notifications of service problems even if the host is 
considered down. I specifically need it to run the event handlers for 
those services despite the host being down. Is there anyway I can change 
this default behavior, and at the very least get nagios to run the event 
handlers for the affected services?

Thanks...
