The Emergency Response Information Kit (E.R.I.K.®) provides important medical information to first responders in the event of an emergency.
It contains information about you and your medical history, and can be conveniently placed on your refrigerator. This is where first responders are trained to look.
First developed by Manitoba paramedics and Seniors Resource Coordinators, E.R.I.K.® is now maintained by Seniors Resource Coordinators.
