Believe me, I know this is something that none of us parents even wants to think about, but what would you do if your child went missing? Almost one million children go missing each year in the United States alone. When law enforcement is called in, the faster they can get information they need about the child, the faster they can start looking for them. Data such as your child’s physical description, photos, emergency medical facts and emergency contacts can help the police right away, if they have it.

InstantAmber is a completely secure online “vault” where you store all the data on your child, only you can access it, and it works like this:

* Visit the InstantAmber site (www.instantamber.com) from anywhere in the world
* Enter your email address and choose a password to register for a personal InstantAmber vault
* Following the clear prompts, add your loved one’s information and photos
* When finished, simply logout of your personal InstantAmber vault
* In case of emergency, call 9-1-1
* Give the Officer your email address and personally-selected Law Enforcement Password
* Law enforcement can access the information and photos it needs instantly

It costs $29.95 per year per child (for a limited time the website says, I’m not sure when or if it will increase). Your InstantAmber vault’s storage capacity is unlimited, and will grow as you enroll additional family members. The vault is password protected, fully data-encrypted and independently monitored for security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Your data stays safe and instantly accessible in the event that you should need it. Although I certainly hope that no one’s child ever goes missing, I am passing this on for your information. Only you can decide if you need to create an InstantAmber account, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the site.
