Subject: emergency info Heaven forbid you're ever involved or injured in any type of accident, motorcycle related or not. But as we all know, accidents do happen and if it happens to you would the authorities know who and how to contact your family?
At a minimum, every SCRC member should provide an emergency contact in their member profile at www.scrcnational.com. Should there be a need to contact someone, the First, State and Regional Officers can access the roster and get this information. Members can edit their own roster information and keep it updated by going to www.scrcnational.com. Click on "Member Login". Enter their member number and password and click on "Edit profile".
Also, consider making yourself a Medical ID Wallet Card. You can do this for FREE at MedIDs.com. You simply fill out an online form and print as many cards as you want. MedIDs does not store or keep your information and having used this site for many years myself, I feel it's completely safe. Print several cards, one for your wallet, one for your saddlebags, and one for you cage. http://medids.com/free-id.php
While many, including myself, use ICE (In Case of Emergency) in our cell phones, a cell phone is not the most reliable source for information. If your cell phone gets crushed, or lost during an accident, or if the emergency responders can not operate your type of phone for whatever reason, ICE will be worthless to you. For this reason, ICE should only be used in addition to a paper copy of your emergency contact information.
Now that I've convinced you to create some sort of emergency contact information, put it on your calender (right now) to review this information again in 6-12 months.
Ride Safe. |
