[Nfbf-l] FW: Update Emergency Contact on mobile phones

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

Hi all.

 

Below is a letter and information on how to update the emergency information
on your mobile devices.  Please share far and wide.

 

While we take time to reflect on the tragedy that has struck Orlando, it is
more important than ever to ensure we are prepared for such an emergency. As
we pray for the families and friends of those heavily affected by this
selfish act, we wish there will never be another instance like this again.
Unfortunately, we know this is not the truth. To be as prepared as possible,
everyone needs to keep their Emergency Contacts as current as possible on
their smart phones. This is extremely easy to do, and provides First
Responders critical contact information, as well as your personal
identification.

  

In case of emergencies (auto accidents, fainting, etc.), you can set up a
Medical ID on your smart phone. To add personal information (blood type,
birthdate, etc.) as well as individuals to contact during an emergency,
follow these steps:

  

. iPhones:

 

 A. Open the Health App (it is a white icon with a pink heart that is
visible on iOS 8 and newer)

B. Tap Medical ID (bottom right icon)

C. Edit information

D. Turn on "Show When Locked" to make your Medical ID available from the
Lock screen

E. Add important information for emergency contacts that will also be
available when your phone is locked

  

. Androids:

  

A. Open the Contacts app

B. Select Groups

C. Tap ICE - Emergency Contacts

D. Edit information

E. Select and add your emergency contacts.

F. Tap Save

G. Return to the phones Lock Screen and tap Emergency Call

H. Tap an Add button to create a shortcut to your emergency numbers. You may
add up to three
