Hokes Bluff High School Anchor Club Pilot International Club of the Year A GIFT WE WANT TO GIVE BUT ONE WE HOPE IS NEVER NEEDED There was a cash award when the Hokes Bluff High School Anchor Club was named INTERNATIONAL CLUB OF THE YEAR. Our Anchors immediately voted to use it in Etowah County. One of the first projects we decided to adopt is “Seat Belt Identifiers”. This is similar in purpose to the Etowah County Sheriff’s Department’s “Yellow Dot” program. Both are designed to assist Alabama citizens and first responders in the event of an automobile crash or other medical emergency. The programs can help save lives during the critical “golden hour” by improving communication at a time when accident victims may be unable to communicate for themselves. The Anchors will give all LOW INCIDENCE students in Etowah County School System a “Rescue Facts Emergency Information Pack.”
Knowledge is Power The power to rescue, the power to treat, the power to save When Emergency Service Providers arrive on the scene of a medical emergency to render aid, one of the first steps involves removing the victim's seat belt. The Rescue Facts™ Emergency Information Pack provides a method of communicating crucial information to EMS in the event that you are unable to. The Rescue Facts™ Information Pack is specifically designed to capture the attention of emergency personnel while protecting your privacy! * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * A durable nylon wrap with the International Medical Information symbol displayed clearly on the front so that rescuers will immediately recognize what it contains.

Some of the Responses So Far…
Thank You for What You Do. I have pages of medication allergies and have always been afraid of what would happen if I was in a car accident and couldn’t tell them of my allergies. Rescue Facts has solved that problem. I wrapped your product around the handle of my purse so I have it with me at all times. I can tell you I feel safer and have peace of mind now. Florence B. Since my husband’s stroke, he is unable to speak. We still like to travel and have our “Yellow Dot” papers in the glove compartment. I feel safer, however, having the Rescue Facts Identifier on our seat belts explaining to any medical personnel to call our daughter or my sister (secondary numbers). It is like insurance for a crisis: something we plan for and pray against. Jane S. Because of my history with cancer and lymph gland removal, I have been warned to not allow medical personnel to put a blood pressure cuff on or stick my right arm. Twice in the past six months, I have been in the emergency room and “came to” just in time to tell them of this precaution. This information sheet will be with me from now on so that it can “speak” for me in the event I can’t speak for myself. Joy S. Our daughter is non-verbal and in a wheelchair. When my wife or I have her in the car, we are more confident if, God forbid, something should happen to us, our daughter’s Seat Belt Identifier will tell emergency responders what should be done and who should be called.
