4. What is “My Emergency Card®” and why do I need one?

a. Everyone should carry “My Emergency Card®,” Emergency personnel, police, fire and EMS are trained to look for “My Emergency Card” first during an emergency. It has your basic emergency information on it like medical, prescriptions medication, allergies, as well as personal information, your name, age, address, phone, blood type, etc. It even allows you to specify who to contact first. For example, you could list your wife, mother, and father. It even has blood and organ donor information (the highest honor). Donor’s in my opinion are very special people.
