What is the File of Life?

The File of Life is a summary of your health that Queen Anne’s County emergency personnel (paramedics, EMTs, firemen) are trained to look for hanging from your refrigerator.

What is an Emergency information Form?

To help first responders, CERT asks that you voluntarily complete this CONFIDENTIAL Emergency Information Form and return it to the SV Management Office. The form contains information about who the occupants of the house are, who has key access to the house, if anyone has any disabilities, and any information that might be useful to first responders in an emergency.
