Step 5Health Records
Getting quick access to your health records is critical, especially if you can't communicate for yourself and you have allergies or other conditions that the medical staff need to know about.
WHAT TO INCLUDE-
Medical records should include copies of the following:
Complete Medical History Including:
Operations
Allergies
Vaccinations
Diseases
Any special needs
Medication Prescriptions
Eye Wear Prescriptions
Hearing or Walking Aids
Dental Records
List of doctors (should be in important contacts)
Health Insurance Cards & Policies
Primary Health Insurance
Supplemental Medical Insurance
Medicare Card
Long-term Care Insurance
Disability Insurance
Life Insurance (Agent, Beneficiaries)
Funeral Insurance Policy
Durable Power Of Attorney
Wills and Living Wills
Health Care Proxies
*NOTE: you should include any current or past records that you feel are important.
HOW TO PREPARE THEM-
1.As mentioned before, scan all paper documents into the PDF format. Color if possible.
2. Try and get digital copies from your health care providers.
3. Go online to record and store your documents. I'm breaking with what I said earlier and making an exception on medical records. I found a site called iHealthRecords.com that let's me fill out an extensive medical background which I can print to paper or PDF, all for free. They even offer a service to partner with your doctor to gain access to the records.

most of the stuff you mention to put in the flash drive seems like it could make getting your wallet stolen 10 times worse
