The Vial of Life Program is a free program designed for seniors and individuals with a medical condition
to provide pertinent medical information to emergency personnel who respond to and treat home emergencies. The Vial
of Life contains much of the medical history needed by the responding emergency personnel, such as existing medical condition,
allergies, medication currently being taken, and emergency contact information.
Vial of Life participants complete a medical information form which is placed into a medicine vial. A
"Vial of Life" sticker is placed on the vial which is then put in the participant's refrigerator in plain view. Another
"Vial of Life" sticker is placed on the front door to alert emergency personnel that medical information is located inside
of the refrigerator. In many cases, this information could prove invaluable to the responders.
The Vial of Life may be obtained by contacting the Community Services Unit of the Lake County Sheriff's Office
at (352) 326-8108 or by sending an email to commservices@lcso.org. Existing program members can click here to print out additional medical information forms. **Note: you will need the free Adobe Reader program to view the forms. |
Now YOU Know.....
Blue lights
above traffic signals are called "tattletale lights" or "red light confirmation lights." Whenever the traffic signal is red, the blue light is on.
Police previously had to testify that a vehicle was in an intersection when it ran a red light.
Now, officers only have to see the blue light to know the vehicle ran the red signal.
Florida Department of Transportation officials are paying for the
lights at intersections on state roads in nine Central Florida counties, reported a representative from the Florida Department
of Transportation. Originally,
the DOT put up small white lights at a cost of about $100 each. The DOT is switching to less-expensive blue lights, which
are LED (light emitting diodes) that run cooler and need less maintenance.
Running a red light in Florida can bring a fine of $188.50.
Violators also face adding three or four points to their driving record, unless they complete a state-approved
driver-safety course.
