Mayor Craig A. Moe and the City of Laurel’s Office of Emergency Management are sharing a way to assist you and your loved ones in case of an emergency.

What if you were home alone and had a Medical emergency? Who would speak for you when the paramedics arrived? 

In all the confusion, what if you forgot to tell them about a particular medication or allergy? What if you were unconscious when they arrive, how would they know about your medical history? Who would they call?

Seconds count. It can mean the difference between life and death. Laurel's LifeList puts these answers at their fingertips! 

Emergency personnel are trained to look on the refrigerator for information so they can immediately begin the best possible treatment, notify loved ones and pass this important information on to waiting physicians at the emergency room.

It is an absolute asset to emergency preparedness, and peace of mind, for every household.
