If you have an iPhone, use smart-ICE or smart-ICE4family ICE (In Case of Emergency) apps to keep all of your critical emergency information in one place. It has all of your current and past medical information plus, in application calling of all contacts. Check it out on the iTunes store! Also, coming to a Windows Mobile and Blackberry device soon!
NOTE: This ICE application is the only one with the internationally recognized ICE (In Case of Emergency) symbol!

Years ago, we were in this situation. A fellow skydiver had a sudden medical problem at night and died after an ambulance ride to the hospital. We pulled out his waiver only to find that he’d left the emergency contact info blank, so there was no way we could get a hold of his family. I’m sure he thought we’d never need that info. I’m still upset when I think of his parents being woken up by the police knocking on their door at 3am.

Hadn’t thought about emergency contacts other than my spouse. So this has really got me to thinking…
Good information – shared with all my Twitter followers.
