What Is IT ?
Data Link is a voluntary scheme
aimed at reassuring the household that essential information is readily available
to the Emergency Services, should an accident, sudden illness or break-in occur.
The scheme ensures that vital information is available not only to identify you,
but also to advise of any relevant illnesses, allergies, medication and contact addresses.
There are currently over 20,000 of these bottles in circulation throughout the Greater Peterborough area
How Does It Work ?
The idea is simple -
Fill in the form with your personal details (these include your allergies, blood group, photo, doctor, emergency contacts, etc).
Pop the form in the bottle and place the bottle in the fridge door.
Put the sticker on the inside of your front door (this makes it impossible to see from outside the house).
This alerts the emergency services to the presence of your details, thus
saving valuable minutes.
The police will be able to contact you should there be a break-in, and
Fire and Ambulance crews will know what treatment you are able, and not able to have.
THE DETAILS CONTAINED WITHIN THE BOTTLE COULD AND HAS SAVED LIVES.
Why the fridge ?
Most household have a fridge, but are you aware that a fridge is
one of the few item that rarely gets destroyed in a fire ?
By putting the bottle in the fridge, you are not only securing the contents but
are alerting the Emergency Services to it's presence and location.
