The Premise Alert Program is a joint initiative involving various Champaign County law enforcement agencies, fire departments, METCAD 9-1-1, and the Emergency Management Agency. It has been created to strengthen the relationship between first responders and residents, offering crucial information to first responders before they reach an emergency scene.
This program shares essential information with emergency services regarding community members who may have functional needs or face communication barriers. By providing this information in advance, emergency responders can be better prepared and informed about specific needs when they arrive at the scene.
To enroll in this program visit the Premise Alert Program page at METCAD 9-1-1 and fill out the Premise Alert Interest Form. A representative from the emergency response community will then contact you to gather specific details. It's important to note that this information will be verified annually to ensure its accuracy and relevance.
