DC Train Crash

By admin | June 23, 2009

I like to bring up current events when they are applicable to our mission here at MyDisasterplan.com, so the recent train crash in Washington, DC is worth discussing here.  In a mass casualty situation like that, there can be considerable delays in contacting victim’s loved ones.  Having something in your wallet, preferably tucked behind your driver’s license, with your emergency contact information on it can be crucial during an incident like that.  When police or paramedics look for your driver’s license for your identification, they will also find your emergency wallet card.  If you have prepared properly, this card will tell them who to contact on your behalf, as well as your basic insurance and medical information.

You can get a free emergency wallet card here on this blog (look to the right of this column) or from MyDisasterPlan.com just by entering your name and email address in the spaces provided.   If you have an account with MyDisasterplan.com, you can easily print cards for each member of your family, all with their specific information.  This card is formatted to have the words “In Case Of Emergency” clearly visible above your license.  The front of the card has your emergency contact information (who to call if you are found unconscious) along with your insurance information, and emergency medical information.

You never know when tragedy will strike…we all hope it will never happen to us, but the reality is…it happens to someone each and every day.  Whether it’s a commuter train crash, or a two car accident on the freeway, every day something like this happens.  Be prepared by having your information accessible to rescuers, get your wallet card today, and keep it in your wallet at all times!

Until next time,

Patrick Krupka
