An area paddling club recently experienced a serious medical emergency during a trip. Even though several members of the group considered themselves to be friends of the victim, no one really knew her well enough to provide any emergency contact information, relevant medical history, current medications or conditions, or any other background to aid responders.
The Mosquito Lagoon Kayakers have developed a basic form you can copy and paste into your word processor and use. A link to it can be found on the bottom of their club’s website homepage at
http://www.mosquitolagoonkayakersofvolusiacounty.com/ .
Let me emphasize that the Aquaholics DO NOT have any requirement for you to carry this type of information while paddling with the club, although some local groups do. As a matter of standardization, those groups suggest you keep your info either in your PFD pocket or taped inside the front hatch of your boat, or both.
The bottom line is you can be as low tech or high tech as you want, you can include as much or as little as you want, but it is of no value if you don’t have it with you. I sincerely hope you never have the need for this information to be used. If you do, I am convinced having it available for others to use will be to your benefit (or not depending on what you decide)!!
