Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2005 -- EmergencyContacts.com announces the launch of their national emergency preparedness (http://www.emergencycontacts.com) 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 (http://www.emergencycontacts.com), EMT personnel call the toll free number provided, alerting the EmergencyContacts.com team. Trained agents confirm the callers 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 members instructions. These simple and secure steps ensure that the emergency notification system is quickly executed and all responsibilities dutifully managed.
