Vial of Life & Smart 911

There are two ways to make your vital health information easily and quickly available to emergency responders:  The Vial of Life and registration with Smart 911.

 

Vial of Life

Contact your Neighborhood Disaster Coordinator for the Vial of Life bottles and information sheets.  If you don’t have a disaster coordinator, make a list of all of your current medical conditions and medication, including the dosage, insert the list into a large medicine bottle and place it inside the door of your refrigerator.  Then place a note on the window of your front door or a front-facing window that says “Vial of Life in Refrigerator.”  That way emergency responders will know to look in your refrigerator for your most current list of medications.  Just be sure to update the list annually or when there are changes.

 

 

Smart 911

If you have access to a computer, you can register your medical information at www.smart911.com.  This secure website allows emergency responders to immediately access your information.  This is very important, especially if you are unresponsive when they arrive at your home.
