“Help-OK” placards are available immediately from Lakeland City Hall, 10001 Highway 70, Lakeland, Tennessee or at Lakeland Fire Station # 1 on Beverle Revira Drive. We are also providing placards for Home Owners Associations, Neighborhood Associations and other groups to distribute to individual dwelling units.
Placards have two sides a “Help” side and an “OK” side. Rescue workers can quickly determine if a resident is ok or needs help. This will substantially increase rescue operations and all residents are encouraged to participate in this program.
The Placards are not just for an emergency. They also provide useful information on an item you need to keep in easy reach in the event of an emergency. The Placards are the color “red” on one side (the “needs help” side) and the color “green” on one side (the “ok” side). In addition to providing assistance in an emergency, the Placards also contain useful information on emergency preparedness, helpful numbers, and information on the type of emergencies in Shelby County and what to do for each one.
I feel these are excellent tools for an emergency and I encourage all residents to get a placard and, more important, know where you put it.
The Placard is prepared by the Memphis/Shelby County Emergency Management Agency.
Remember to get your “Help-Ok” placard now
