EmergencyContacts.com Launches Emergency Preparedness Service
The system notifies loved ones and provides critical information to medical personnel.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) February 16, 2005 -- EmergencyContacts.com announces the launch of
their national emergency preparedness
and information resource service, with membership available at www.emergencycontacts.com. In the event of an emergency, this
one-of-a-kind service relays important medical data to medical personnel and
quickly contacts family members and relatives.
“This is a must-have for
parents, people with pets, seniors and people who travel a lot,” says company
spokesperson Valerie Nay. “One call from an emergency room to our 24/7 call
center, and our agents are on the phone immediately making sure the right people
are notified.”
EmergencyContacts.com members enter contact and critical
medical information for each person in the household into a highly secure data
base. The information can easily be changed or updated by signing on to their
account at any time. After sign-up, members are provided with several forms of
identification including ID cards, key tags and windshield stickers. From the
web site, they can also print unlimited mini-stickers for each individual to put
on bike helmets, skateboards, cell phones, and other personal items. All the ID
materials contain the member number and the toll free number to call in an
urgent situation.
In case of an emergency situation or accident, EMT personnel call the toll
free number provided, alerting the EmergencyContacts.com team. Trained agents
confirm the caller’s identification and collect information about the situation
such as hospital location, phone number and physician. Utilizing the secure
database, the member is identified and pre-approved medical and health
information is given to the medical personnel. Then, agents begin alerting a
designated list of contacts according to the member’s instructions. These simple
and secure steps ensure that the emergency notification system is quickly
executed and all responsibilities dutifully managed.
