My impression is that a tag should facilitate positive identification (everywhere in the world) and list emergency contacts. (Is blood type really useful?)
So... Relevant info could be:
- Name
- Passeport number
- Primary emergency contact email + phone
- Alternate contact email + phone
- Link to emergency www page
Things you'd remove/add? Including opinions on the merit of such tags.
I am curious. What is an emergency www page?
Email seems less useful as long as phone numbers are kept current.
I agree with whoever said ssn was asking for identity theft (and also of no benefit).
Also I doubt any doctor would trust blood type from the tag. I could be wrong though.
I have considered using a usb flash drive on a chain around the neck with jpegs of all the apropriate ids and insurance stuff, a list of meds, medical history and so on could be included. I nave never done so though. A copy of all the same could also be on the phone.
