Earthquakes on the West coast, tornados in the Midwest and floods throughout the nation
cause hundreds of emergency evacuations every year. Hurricane Katrina displaced tens of thousands of people, most of them hundreds of miles away from home and family.
Individuals that were injured or needed medical treatment were seen by physicians that had incomplete medical history about these new patients which put them at serious medical risk.

FEMA and the Red Cross both recommend you maintain a 72 hour emergency kit that
includes a list of important information as part of a disaster preparedness plan. That list
should include your emergency medical information and contact information.

Here is a list of some of the things recommended by healthcare professionals :

• List of all Allergies
• Any important medical information
• Emergency Contacts
• Medical History- Chronic medical conditions
• Rx Medications taken -  Over The Counter
• Private Physician - Primary care Physician and Specialists
• Surgical History - Hospital & Surgeons

All of the above information can be included in your Medical Record Organizer. This type
of medical information should be with you at all times. Register today for GFN's data
retention service available 24 / 7.

Don't wait until you need it to think about it by then it's too late!
