Message In a Bottle Initiative (MIAB)

The Message in a Bottle project is brought to you by your local Lions Club. It is a simple idea designed to encourage you to keep medical information and contact details in a small distinctive bottle in a common location – the fridge.  This free bottle contains a printed form and three labels. The form is completed and put in the bottle. The bottle is then placed in the fridge and one of the adhesive labels is placed on the outside of the fridge door, another inside front entrance and/or back door.
For further information please contact:

MIAB is supported by the following emergency services:
  • Ambulance
  • Fire Brigade
  • Gardaí
  • Medical Profession
  • HSE
  • Pharmacists and Local County Councils
Keep your basic personal and medical details in one place.
  • Emergency teams can easily access.
  • Time saved can be critical and life saving.
  • Information required is basic but necessary.
  • The Personal Information Form is self-explanatory.
How does it work?
You are given a bottle (a Plastic Container) complete with personal information form and three self-adhesive green crosses.
If a person is taken ill while alone in the house and is unable to communicate, the first responders, on seeing the labels, are alerted to go straight to the fridge, saving valuable minutes assessing the patient’s details. This time can be critical and lifesaving.
Who will benefit from Message in a bottle?
Older people, people not in good health, people living alone, - - -
People having life threatening conditions/allergies, people with disabilities.
Paramedics, Gardaí, Fire-fighters, Hospital Accident and Emergency, Social Services.
President: Stephen MacDonagh
