“Being able to immediately be advised of medical conditions such as allergies, medication,s or disabilities can help us assess the situation faster and more accurately."

“One of the things we fail to think about is the fact that when a person is dialing 9-1-1, it can be a very chaotic environment and there could be a lot of panic involved. If they have preloaded a profile that automatically populates for our responders, we have useful information, even if the person cannot relay all needed information to us.”

“Recently, an area mother called 9-1-1 when her child ran into a grill and received a laceration on the face. Panic is natural during an emergency, and in the excitement, the mother didn’t mention the child had a lethal latex allergy. Because she had created a Safety Profile, our dispatcher immediately saw this detail and was able to alert first-responders.”
