About 911READY

WHAT IS 911READY?

911READY is an emergency preparedness system designed for residents to voluntarily provide important medical information to first responders regarding autistic, special needs or disabled individuals. 911READY CAN MAKE EMERGENCY RESPONSE MORE EFFICIENT FOR RESIDENTS & FIRST RESPONDERS!

EXAMPLE

An autistic young man is 20 years old but cognitively he is two years old. The young man is 6’4”, weighs 450lb and is nonverbal. The user-friendly 911READY web app allows the parent/guardian to enter information about their loved one, including a current photo, into the system. If ever there is a 911 call to that address, the police will be alerted before they arrive that this young man is autistic, non verbal, and will respond to both the situation and people as a toddler would. The photo will be attached to the the alert to help responders better identify him upon arrival. 911READY was developed to help change the way emergency calls are handled through a better understanding of the individual needs of the residents.

FAQ

What if more than one individual at a residence would benefit from a 911READY membership?

Many households may benefit from more than one resident having a 911READY profile. For that reason, the 911READY program annual fee is $40 for the first membership within a residence and you are able to add-on additional residents at the same residence for only $10 each per year.

What if the member splits time between two addresses?

Each member must have a primary address but may also add a secondary address (for example the address of another parent with joint custody or a work address where the member spends significant time). IMPORTANT: The addresses must always be in participating cities for 911READY alerts. If your city is not participating, you may ask them to visit our site to complete a department participation request.

What if a member moves to a new address during the year of their membership?

If the new address is in a participating city, simply update the member's profile in the system (please note that updates are not done in real-time and there will be processing time for updates). If the new address is in a city that is not participating in the 911READY program, you may ask them to visit our website to complete a department participation request form. Annual fees are non-refundable for any reason.

Who will see a member's information?

The 911READY system is secure. The information voluntarily provided in a membership profile will only be shared with 911READY administrators and the participating police department.

Can a membership be refunded?

No, there are no refunds given on annual fees for any reason.

How does 911READY help with vehicular emergencies?

Included in the annual membership price is a 911READY decal that participating first responders have been trained to recognize as a program participant. But that just acts as one last "heads up" to responders. More importantly, member profiles allow license plate uploads, so that during an emergency, a responder can get a 911READY alert when running a tag number
