Enhanced 911 Is Available for All Persons With Disabilities
The State Council for Persons with Disabilities (SCPD), along with
the Department of Public Safety, has developed an enhanced 911 emergency
information form that is simple to complete and is available to
ALL persons with disabilities in the State of Delaware. The
information will provide 911 personnel with relevant facts and data
that are then communicated to emergency medical services (EMS) professionals.
EMS professionals will then be prepared to help individuals with
disabilities involved in an emergency situation. The information
is voluntary, private and will not be divulged to anyone except
to aid in the provision of any emergency service to the address
listed on the form.
Anyone who wishes to obtain this form should contact Kyle Hodges, SCPD staff at: 302-739-3613 (voice) or 302-739-3699 (TTY).
