2. YELLOW DOT - Emergency in the car 

The Yellow Dot Program is a driver-safety initiative that provides first responders with vital information about motorists who have been involved in a MVC and are unresponsive or nonverbal. 

  •  Complete the medical information sheet and put it into the provided yellow envelope- place the envelope in the glove compartment of our car.
  • Place the provided yellow decal on the driver’s side, rear window- this will alert the First Responders to check inside the glove compartment for your vital medical information.

3. REFRIGERATOR RECORD - Emergency in the home 

By keeping your medical information, emergency contact information and a current list of your medications in an obvious place, you greatly improve your chances during an emergency.  Your list can be posted on the refrigerator, in your kitchen. Leave instructions for family members so they can assist if they are available. 

Put medical information in an envelope labeled *MEDICAL INFORMATION*. Secure the envelope to your refrigerator door.   You may want to include a picture of yourself. Be sure to keep it at eye level so that it is easily visible to First Responders. Remember to print legibly and update the information as it changes.

  • Complete the form and place 2-copies in an envelope labeled *MEDICAL INFORMATION*. Secure the envelope to your refrigerator door.  You may want to include a picture of yourself. 
  • Be sure to keep it at eye level so that it is easily visible to First Responders. 
  • Label one of the copies for the First Responders to take- this will be useful in transport and at the hospital.
  • A fillable PDF is provided below for you to complete and print the information.
