The Yellow
Dot program is a TRIAD project to help save
lives.
The program consists
of a recent photo, a medical information card, and a yellow dot sticker
to be affixed to your car window. The card sohuld be filled out in pencil
to allow for updating, slipped into the supplied envelope along with the
photo, and then placed in your car's glove compartment. The yellow dot
decal will then be placed on the inside rear windshield on the driver's
side.
In the event of an
emergency, first responders can identify the vehicle as that of a Yellow
Dot participant and will know to look in the glove compartment for the
packet of information that can provide a quick and accurate medical history
with the patient's name, medical history, prescription information, and
emergency medical contact numbers, and the photo to guarantee correct
identification.
To take advantage

Dot kit and decal from Elaine Anderson, TRIAD Coordinator in partnership

card using a pencil!
