The good news is that you don’t have to
wonder or worry about that anymore. Palm Beach County
Fire Rescue supports a new Program called the Yellow Dot.
The Yellow Dot gets important information into the hands
of emergency responders quickly and it can save your life!
If you are involved in a car accident and can’t
communicate, first responders can look in your glove
compartment box for the “Yellow Dot” pamphlet where
you have written essential medical information about
yourself.
This information can help rescue crews decide the
best approach to your emergency treatment. This is
especially important after a car accident where you may be
unconscious, in shock, or simply unable to communicate
clearly.
When you can’t talk to Emergency Responders to
provide them with vital medical information, the Yellow
Dot is your tool to provide personalized information on
your behalf!
This is how it works…just follow three steps.
1- Fill out the form on the Yellow Dot pamphlet.
2- Put the Yellow Dot pamphlet form in your glove
compartment box.
3- Place the sticker on the back/rear windshield in the
lower left hand corner so emergency responders can see
it quickly and easily when approaching from behind.
*Important Tips*
* Keep the Yellow Dot pamphlet updated as
information changes.
** How many do you need??? (i.e. One Yellow Dot
sticker per vehicle & One Yellow Dot pamphlet for each
person.)
You can stop in to any Palm Beach County Fire Station
to pick up Yellow Dot pamphlets and stickers for your
household. For quantities more than that, please call our
Community Education Office at 561-616-7033.
If your club or organization would like a presentation
about the Yellow Dot, to learn more about additional
resources available, and to have an opportunity to ask
questions, please call 561-616-7051. Yellow Dot Sticker/
Pamphlet sets will be brought to the presentation for
audience attendees. Quantities can be discussed when
presentations are booked.
