Holy Crap!!! Wow, stunning video!!
As for csue925's advice (below) I would add, on. your other arm write your blood type and NKA (No Known Allergies) or Rx allergies (penicillin, morphine, etc.) if you have them. Also, if circumstances warrant, if a tourniquet is applied write the time it was applied and "TQ."
These are recognized notations on patients in emergency medicine and combat medicine environments. As csue925 stated, use a Sharpie. Regular ink pens tend to wash off easily from sweat, etc. If no Sharpie, try to write conspicuously on the patient's clothing with the regular ink pen. Write on their face if you have to, seconds count in triage situations.

Ask the folks of Galveston and the Texas barrier islands about the people who did not heed the evacuation orders or tried to evacuate too late. Bodies were found 20 miles away in trees or six months later. Some never were ID’ed after Ike. Too bad for their families who do not know what ever happened to them. Only one house was left standing in a 25 mile stretch of Bolivar Peninsula.
