Johnson County Dispatch E-911 is launching the Premise Alert System.
According to a release on E-911’s Facebook page, the Premise Alert Program will provide families with a uniformed method to alert first responders about special-needs individuals. It also will provide first responders with advance knowledge, allowing for quick and educated responses during crises, evacuations and disasters.
Anyone who has a special need, health challenge or disability such as- but not limited to- Alzheimer’s Disease, autism, mental-health challenges or a complex or rare medical condition who would like first responders- such as police, ambulance and fire departments- aware can fill out and submit the form. Submission of the form is completely voluntary; and you do not have to provide any information you do not want first responders to know or use.
The form is available free of charge, and can be found on the Johnson County Central Dispatch E-911 website at www.johnsoncounty911.org.
For more information, contact Interim Executive Director Kimberly Jennings at (660) 422-6317.
