EMERGENCY CARD FOR BABY / TODDLER

As Hurricane Sandy bore down on us last week, I became worried about what would happen should we have to evacuate our home...and...more-so...what would happen if I was separated from my child!??!?  The news/emergency reports kept saying things like "ensure your child knows your phone numbers and names/phone numbers of out of town contacts."  But my son is not even 2 yet and he can't tell anyone any of those things - if someone found him, or I was unable to speak, how would he get to family?  

So I made him an emergency card and printed it out.  I created it like the template shown in the image and printed it, then folded it in half (so it was credit card sized) and used clear packing tape (in the absence of a laminator) to seal it.  

Then, I put one copy in the glove box of my car, one copy in my wallet and another one I attached to a mesh belt which would fit around my son's waist, should we have to evacuate.  (the belt I made using strapping like used on a backpack and a latch like you find on high chair straps - so it's flexible but he can't get it off himself).  

Luckily, I didn't need this.  But I'm glad I made them, and still have them ready, just in case.  

You can call me paranoid.  But I slept better that night.   

ps:  I went ahead and made identical ones for my husband and myself too. Why not?
