Once an emergency has happened, it’s easy to look back and say “I should have been more prepared.” Guardly helps you prepare for emergencies by setting up effective groups, running practice simulations and ensuring that you have a complete profile.

Your Guardly Profile is an opportunity to disclose important information about yourself that will be made available to your responders in case of emergency.

Here are a few pointers:

Photo
If you believe the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” — start off by capturing and uploading a photo of yourself.

Contact Details
Even though Guardly will connect you with your responders, be sure to include your contact information, including up-to-date telephone numbers and email address. Once an emergency has ended, it is common for responders to want to get in contact with you however possible.

Physical and Medical Information
Guardly allows you to share your physical information such as eye color, hair color, height, weight and blood type — information that is important to quickly disseminate in cases of kidnappings or amber alerts. For people with medical concerns and conditions, your Guardly Profile can store information about known medical conditions, medications and allergies as well as your doctor’s name and phone number and your insurance plan and policy number.

Remember: In an emergency, it’s imperative that your Guardly Groups have access to your personal information that can prove beneficial in an emergency. If your emergency is a medical event, these details are extremely important for paramedics and other rescuers to know in case they need to administer new drugs on-site. So please be proactive and keep your safety group informed. Be sure to review your profile every three months to ensure it remains accurate.
