This kit is your tool to help you be prepared in the event of an emergency. We suggest putting the completed packet in a brightly colored envelope or folder so it is easy to find. At home, keep it near the door so it is handy for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and perhaps tack it up on the wall at work. Also provide a copy of this packet to your Power of Attorney and Healthcare Proxy. Portable USB drives can hold all this information and can be carried on a key chain. Some medical alert services have these drives available with their logo or you can purchase them in any office supply store.

Many people put emergency contact information in their cell phone filed under ICE (In Case of Emergency). Use ICE1, ICE2 and so on. EMS people are trained to look for this on your cell phone.
