In Case of Emergency

[~Rowdy~]

Not sure how many people put ICE (In Case of Emergency) in their contact list, but I do for emergencies. But that is no good if you have a password locked phone like I do. But there is a great app called iEmergency ICE Family PRO that you can download for $2.99 and it will but up your Emergency Contact as well as any pertinent emergency information that you want to have. Like allergies or conditions. Just figured I'd share this for anyone interested.

It just puts the information on the lock screen? Good idea.

Great idea.
I use a bracelet called Road Id. It was originally designed for cyclists on the road, when they usually aren't carrying around other stuff. I forget the cost, I think it's about 10$ a year or something like that, but it allows you to maintain an online database with all relevant emergency info (contact info, allergies, family doctor info, blood type, etc...). Basically if it just a bracelet you wear, and it has whatever info you want on it, and an ID number and pin, that responders can go to the website to get all your information.
I wear it whenever I'm out doing sports, whether cycling, on my motorcycle, sled, kiting, and all the other crazy stuff I do.

That's correct. I would screen shot my phone and post it up but obviously it has my personal info. Anyways, I just thought it was a great idea since we always have our cell phones on us it seems.

That sounds pretty cool. I might have to check that out too. Although I really don't wear jewelery so I think that might hinder me from getting something like that. I should wear a medic alert but I think I might just get a tattoo on my wrist.

Just get military style Dog tags for like 10$. That way if you loose your arm you're still good to go...And no website required.

Um, I'm pretty sure if you lose your arm, you aren't 'still good to go'. Dog Tags are designed to identify bodies once they are dead, not exactly what I'm going for, and they can't hold the information a website can.
I have emergency contact info, based on where I am in the world, you can prioritize your emergency contacts (you can add notes, I put in who to call in certain areas, ie, Calgary, Invermere, Golden, Maui, etc..), your allergies, medical conditions, Health insurance info, family doctor, address, passport info, goverment ID info (none of these are mandatory to add in).

Well you may not be feeling 100%, but you'll be good to go to the hospital at least. Sure the bracelet or chip in the hand sound great, but what if yer on Safari and a Croc gets yer hand? Now the docs have 0 info!! lol Jk If you have diabetes or something then the bracelet is a wonderful thing. If yer going BASE jumping, bring some friends.....

They also have this system in dog tags as well.
