A sobering post: Emergency Contacts

Driving along with her children in the car, Misty Traveller was hit, head on, by a vehicle in the opposite lane. The other driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and drifted into oncoming traffic. When the emergency workers arrived, Misty was unconscious and her children were fine (they were safely strapped in.) Misty's husband was at work and her children unable to recite their address, phone number, even Daddy's name or where he worked.

But Misty thought ahead and was prepared. Very prepared. On her keyring was a small piece of plastic, similar to a membership card to her healthclub and her grocery store membership cards. But this card led the emergency workers to emergencycontacts.com. In her wallet, she had a matching membership card, as well as a window sticker on her car. All included her membership number. Her son's backpack even had an Emergency Contacts.com tag (much safer than carrying his name and address on his backpack for everyone to see.)

The emergency crew quickly contacted Emergency Contacts.com and learned that Misty had an allergy to Penicillan and were given emergency numbers to call. They contacted Misty's husband, neighbor and parents. The children were taken care of, and Misty's doctor was able to meet her at the hospital (where she recovered beautifully.)
