A woman lost her son in a car accident. She was unable to be contacted for 7 hours after her son was injured and he died alone. By initiating the ’Next of Kin Bill,’ signed into law by Governor Strickland on May 1, 2008, she has worked to ensure that each driver in the state of Ohio can register 2 emergency contacts (with up to 3 telephone numbers each) through the BMV to be contacted in the event of an emergency.
How would law enforcement find your loved ones if you were in an accident? The only information first responders have to identify you is the address on your drivers license. Is someone always home at the address on your drivers license? If not, the police then must begin a time intensive search to find your loved ones.
This is a very simple procedure that took me less than 3 minutes to complete online.
All you need is your Ohio Drivers License or State ID. Then click on this link www.ohiobmv.com to enter up to two people you would like to be notified if you are injured and unable to speak. Your emergency contact information is very secure and can only be accessed by authorized law enforcement personnel.
