You can help support your local EMS by taking the time to be prepared in case of emergency. Here are some easy tips from the Center for EMS at Ohio State University Medical Center to keep you and your family safe.
- Include an I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) contact in your cell phone address book.
- Check that your house number is lit and visible from both directions on the street.
- Learn CPR and encourage your family members to get CPR training.
- In an emergency, you may not be able to tell your care providers about your complete medical history or you may be unavailable if your child needs care.
- Download a family medical history form and clearly post it on your refrigerator.
