YELLOW DOT is a free program designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during the first "golden hour" after a crash or emergency. A Yellow Dot on the driver's-side rear window of your vehicle will alert first responders that vital medical information is stored in the glove compartment.

HOW YELLOW DOT WORKSEach Yellow Dot Kit contains a personal information card and a Yellow Dot decal. Complete both sides of the personal information card as much as possible in pencil. Attach a recent photo of yourself and place it within your car’s glove compartment.Complete one card for each person who regularly occupies the vehicle. Place the Yellow Dot decal on the rear driver’s side window to alert first responders to look in the glove compartment for your medical information. Update the card annually. If you sell your car, remove the Yellow Dot sticker.

USE YELLOW DOT AT HOMEA Yellow Dot kit can be used to alert those who respond to an emergency in your home. Simply place a Yellow Dot decal on or beside your front door and place a completed card for each occupant in a clear plastic freezer bag. Place it in a visible location on the freezer compartment of your refrigerator.
