In case of Emergency- 3 things you should prepare

Last night, I heard my father groaning loudly in his room. Worried, I went into his room to check. To my relief, it was one of his routine grumbling.

This week, a number of health-related events has sparked me to think about in times of emergency, am I ready? I thought this post will be useful for readers out there – touch wood, in times of emergencies, you should be prepared.

Thus here is a list of things that should be prepared.

·         What is your vital information?

Blood type, Allergies, medication, past medical history and all the basic information about your family members – are they at your finger tips?

·         Which Way to the nearest hospital?

Calling 995 might not be the best idea if you could safely and promptly bring the affected to the hospital. But make sure you know the way to your nearest hospital. I didn’t know, and thus it was quite scary to think about it… getting on the car only to know that you do not know the way to the hospital.

And of course there is the question – “where did you park your car?” – as you won’t want to look up and down in the carpark because you forgot where you last parked it. I don’t even want to go to where did you put your car keys, but these little things might cause you seconds that matter.

·         Always charge your phone

Or have a spare battery around. With the reliance on phone for GPS, information nowadays. Either you remember what you need, or make sure your phone is always operationally ready.
