Yellow Dot Program
The Pennsylvania Department of Health, Bureau of Public Health Preparedness, would like to share some valuable information on two new programs developed by PennDot for the safety of individuals who may have pre-existing medical conditions.
The Yellow Dot program is designed to assist drivers and passengers as well as police, firemen and emergency medical personnel in the event of a motor vehicle collision or other medical emergency. By improving communications during the critical “golden hour” when victims may be unable to communicate for themselves, the Yellow Dot Program can help save lives.
The Emergency Contact Information program allows participants to register two emergency contacts in a secure database that can be used by law enforcement during an emergency
Please see the attached for more information on the program and help us encourage individuals to participate in this program.
Thank you for your continued support!
