Personal Emergency Preparedness Tips

PACK AN EMERGENCY KIT: No one ever expects an emergency to happen when it does, so the best thing you can do is... Be Prepared. Use the Emergency Kit guide to ensure you are ready if an emergency occurs.

Smart911 Profile

Smart911 allows you to create a safety profile for yourself and your household. Safety profiles can include the vital personal and medical information for each member of the home, a photo for each person and list any pets that may be in the home. This is provided provided directly to 9-1-1 when you call 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency, allowing dispatchers to send the right responders to the right location with the right information.

Request a File of Life

The File of Life is a card which contains vital personal medical information and is kept on the outside of your refrigerator in a bright red magnetic pocket, readily accessible to EMTs when they arrive on an emergency call.
