State database lists emergency contacts
Beginning today, any Ohio resident with a driver's license or state identification card can register information on how to reach family members or close friends in an emergency.
By filling out a form at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles Web site or at a deputy registrar's location, state residents ensure that a family member can be contacted quickly if they've been injured in a traffic accident, fire or other emergency.
The state legislature created the database this year with the help of a Franklin County woman who lost her son, 33, in a late-night car accident last year. Linda Wuestenberg didn't find out about the accident for seven hours.
