ATTENTION CITIZENS:

 

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PREPARE FOR AN EMERGENCY BEFORE IT HAPPENS!  THIS INCLUDES MAKING YOUR HOME EASY TO LOCATE FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR ADDRESS NUMBER POSTED IN REFLECTIVE NUMBERS AT THE ROAD, EITHER ON A 911 SIGN (REFLECTIVE GREEN OR BLUE) OR IN HIGH VISIBILITY NUMBERS ON YOUR MAILBOX. SIMPLY HAVING THE HOUSE NUMBER ON THE HOUSE USUALLY PRESENTS A PROBLEM FOR RESPONDERS AND CAN DRAMATICALLY DELAY RESPONSE TIMES REACHING YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE. PLEASE COMPLY AND POST YOUR REFLECTIVE NUMBERS IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE AT THE STREET LEVEL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A REFLECTIVE 911 SIGN WITH YOUR ADDRESS NUMBERS ON IT, PLEASE CONTACT THE UNION COUNTY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS OFFICE OR ANY COUNTY FIREFIGHTER.

                     HELP US HELP YOU

Any time when EMS is called to a scene to help someone, treatment for that person is aided by several things: Who the person is, What kind of medical problems they have, what medicines they take, and who to contact in case of emergency. Often, people who are unconscious or those who live alone are not able to provide this information to EMS providers, thus presenting a challenge to Providers in caring for that person and transferring the patient to the receiving Emergency Department at the hospital. However, a simple, yet effective method of providing this vital information has been discovered. In this modern day of technology and communication, most people possess cell phones which may in fact, save your life...

Here is the concept:

 If you have a cell phone, make an entry in your contacts list labeled “ICE” (In Case of Emergency). Under the “ICE” listing provide a contact number of someone that you want notified in case of an emergency. Keep in mind that you should discuss this with them prior to entering this information into your phone so they understand that they may receive such a call. Make sure that the person that you list as your “ICE” has your medical information.

 In the event you have an emergency; when you are unable speak due to your injuries or sickness and you have on your cell phone, maybe paramedics, police or fire department personnel may be able to retrieve the ICE (contact) number and get more information about you or will be able to notify someone during your time of need.

 You may consider more than one “ICE” number to store in your phone and list them as “ICE 1” and “ICE 2”. If you have space to enter the contact’s name in a notes or more information section, this will allow the responder to know who they are calling.

 Pass along the word. This could be a call that could save your life, a way of gathering vital information or to provide a way for emergency workers to notify someone in your time of need.
