The Fairfield Police Department’s Yellow Dot program helps residents and first responders in case of an au- tomobile crash or other medical emer- gency involving the participant’s vehicle.
The program can help save lives during the critical “golden hour” by improving communication at a time when accident victims may be unable to communicate. Registrants will get a folder with a yellow dot that goes in the glove compartment of their car. It contains personal in- formation, emergency contacts, medi- cal history—including allergies and medications—hospital preference, and physician. A decal is also placed on the left rear window of the regis- trant’s car to alert emergency person- nel to the presence of the folder. The information it contains is of extraor- dinary importance to first responders; and it may save your life.
The Yellow Dot Program is a free service offered to seniors by the Fairfield Police Department. It’s funded and operated by People’s United Bank as a community service.
Sign-up for the Yellow Dot program at the Fairfield Senior Center, Thursday, May 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
