"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and we're talking about different ways that we can help keep our family safe at theme parks. If you have any sort of medical conditions or if you have a child that has any sort of medical conditions, you want to be sure that you come prepared for anything. Be sure that you have an emergency plan in place and also that you carry with you any sort of emergency medication or any daily medication that needs to be taken. And be sure that you have a plan with your child if they are going off, if they're old enough to separate from you for a little while to go off on their own, be sure that they are carrying their medicine if they need it, if they have any sort of food allergies and that they're carrying their epinephrine. If your child has a condition like diabetes or epilepsy, or anything that might catch them off guard, you really want to be sure that they are wearing some sort of medical alert bracelet that will make it obvious to any passer by that sees them in distress, what their condition is and what needs to be done to help them. Also be sure that you have your contact information somewhere where their child can give it to somebody or it can be easily seen on their body in case of some sort of medical emergency. "
