Yellow Dot Program
The concept is easy - a specially designed yellow decal that you will display in the rear windshield of your vehicle. The sticker alerts first responders to check the glove compartment of the vehicle for a yellow card listing detailed medical information and any health issues the occupants of the vehicle may have. This program is free of charge to all Illinois residents. Please visit the IDOT Yellow Card website for information on how and where to get your yellow sticker and card.
Smart911
is now available in DuPage County
Smart911 allows you to store critical care and emergency rescue information with Smart911 in advance of any emergency. The information is collected on the Smart911 website. Then, if you call 911 from a subscriber phone (that is, a phone number you have registered and verified with Smart911 by responding to an automated call placed to that phone), Smart911's technology automatically makes your information available to your 911 operator provided that the 911 center receiving your call has Smart911 technology. In some instances that information is also automatically made available to responding units.
Smart911 can help protect you, your loved ones, and other members of your household. By storing your critical care and emergency rescue information with Smart911 during a calm moment, you can take the time to ensure that the information is correct and accurate and exactly what you would like to be communicated to emergency response teams in an emergency. Registering for the service is free.
