Medical Information Programs

The St. Lucie County Fire District offers several programs designed to help first responders quickly access important medical information during an emergency. These programs allow residents to voluntarily provide critical information that may assist firefighters and paramedics in delivering faster, safer, and more effective care.

Community Connect

Secure Online Access for First Responders

Community Connect allows residents to securely and voluntarily share household-specific information that may assist emergency responders during an incident. Information such as household members with functional needs, pets in the home, gate or access information, and emergency contact information can help responders better serve residents during emergencies.

Participation is free, voluntary, and secure.
