As we all know, life-changing events can happen at any moment. Preparation for any or all of those upsetting events can be mind-boggling, to say the least. Every Sun Lakes resident receives an Emergency Preparedness Package from his or her district delegate or EPAP Coordinator. A magnetic red plastic envelope, called "The File of Life," is part of that package. The paper(s) inside the envelope should be filled out as soon as possible, and the envelope placed on the outside of your refrigerator. Be sure to include names of doctors, dates of vaccinations and procedures, list of medical conditions and allergies, and a list of all medications. The File is very important because all first responders in our area—police, fire, paramedics, etc.—know about this envelope and where it can be found, and look for it upon entering your home in an emergency. According to the Banning Fire Captain, fewer than 30 percent of homes they enter for medical emergencies have the File of Life on the refrigerator. They need that information, and if the resident is unable to provide it, it hinders their ability to treat the victim. The properly prepared File of Life can save vital minutes that can affect your life. Also in the envelope is a small orange placard that is used in EPAP drills (and ultimately in real emergencies), and should remain in the envelope. In drills and actual emergencies, place the placard in a front-facing window, visible from the street, to inform your zone captain that all is well in your home. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FILE OF LIFE AND AN ORANGE PLACARD, CONTACT YOUR DELEGATE OR CALL EPAP AT (951) 524-3126 TO GET ONE.
