Southbury Ambulance Association to host 7th Annual Amber & Silver Alert Registration April 11, 2015

Southbury Ambulance Association will sponsor and host this years Amber & Silver Alert Child ID Session in conjunction with Danbury Rotary Club at the Southbury Senior Center, 561 Main Street South, Southbury on Saturday, April 11, 2015 (inclement weather date: Sunday April 12, 2015) from 10am to 2pm. Southbury Ambulance has partnered up with several organizations for this event: Southbury Senior Services, Southbury Fire Department, Pomperaug Health Department, Alzheimer’s Association and Dr. Kest’s Dental Office. Activities will include tours of ambulance and fire vehicles, face painting, balloons, giveaways and door prizes.

The Danbury Rotary Club has teamed up with other Rotary Clubs across Connecticut and the Connecticut State Police Amber Alert Center at the Department of Public Safety. The Rotary Amber Alert Child ID Program brings the latest technology to the Amber Alert System. With this new system, the child’s colored digital picture is imbedded on a wallet sized plastic card along with minimal yet essential information needed to find a child in the event the child goes missing. In addition to the card, strongly encrypted computer data, not connected to the internet or any other system, may be accessed by the State Police when a child goes missing.

In addition to the Amber Alert Registration, Southbury Ambulance will work with Judy Slason of Southbury Senior Services who will be providing attendees relevant information.
