[NFBV-Alexandria] Smart 911 Flyer

[BrianMiller]

Good morning,

I wanted to share the attached flyers with the Greater Alexandria Chapter as
they contain information about an important new service in Alexandria called
"Smart 911." We had a presentation this week at the Alexandria Commission
for Persons with Disabilities and I thought it would be of great interest to
our chapter. 

Alexandria is so far the only jurisdiction that has established this new
service. It essentially allows individuals and families to set up profiles
in the system to which only emergency personnel have access, but it allows
first responders to know if the individual they are seeking to help has a
disability, lives alone, is a senior, and a host of other details that will
make them more prepared to assist in an effective manner. 

Jo'Ann Maldonado, manager of emergency communications, can come to one of
our chapter meetings and explain in greater detail if this is something
about which we would like to hear more. 

Meanwhile, check out the flyer, and consider signing up. 

Sincerely,

Brian R. Miller, PH.D.
President
Greater Alexandria Chapter of the NFB of Virginia
