EMS Week, which begins May 21, will be recognized by a local funeral home which is offering a free community mobile application to assist local first responders. Vitalboards, whose address locations will be identified to emergency personnel via the app, are write-on-wipe-off two-sided magnetic memo boards with a wet erase marker with mounting clip. One side is specifically for medical information entries.

This information could help save a life if the resident is unable to speak or is incapacitated. The boards would be taken on the ambulance to the hospital for staff access of critical information.

To download the Vital ICE application from either the Apple App Store or Google Play, enter code: #8531. For more information, visit www.vitalboards.com/vitalice. For free whiteboards for those who don’t have cell phones, visit Connell Funeral Home, 245 E. Broad St.
