- Next of kin or friends to contact
- Your medication, allergies
- Even what pets need looking after
Simply enter the details on the form provided, pop the form in the bottle then put the bottle in your fridge. Stick the special Green Cross symbol provided on your front door so the emergency services will know! Easy!
You can pick up a FREE Message in a Bottle from these distributors:
