What is Safety On Scene? 

Imagine traveling in your vehicle and being involved in a vehicle accident.  You’re upset, confused and injured.  Emergency crews arrive on scene and need to know about your medical history, medications, and allergies.  Which is the hospital of your choice?  Who is your doctor? Who is an emergency contact? What happens if you are unconscious and unable to answer?  So many questions, and how do you let emergency workers know the answers? The Safety On Scene Program can be there for you to help out emergency workers obtain this information is a flash!

Here’s How It Works!

A small sticker is placed on the back of your rearview mirror.  This sticker alerts emergency workers  that a small informational packet is in your glove box.  Inside that packet emergency workers will find:

·        A photo I.D. that lists your name , address, and phone number

·        Information on your medical history, medications and allergies

·        Emergency contact information

·        Doctor’s name and phone number

·        A portable Do Not Resuscitate Order (optional)

·        A portable Living Will (optional)

·        A Med Key Card

The information is all there for not only emergency workers but hospital personnel too!

(Consider having an extra S.O.S. Packet to carry in your wallet or purse!)
