What is a WHALE......guest speaker

WHALE
"We Have A little Emergency"

Today July 21st, Dorothy Carpenter came and spoke to the group about the WHALE Program. While I was not able to attend, John did go and took a few pictures to share on line. Please read the data below as it is an important safety precaution for our children in the community.

Whale is a child Identification Program that attaches emergency information to a child safety seat, giving emergency personnel vital information in the event the driver of the vehicle is incapacitated. It includes two components:1) the "Guide to Implementing the WHALE program." and 2) the WHALE kit.
Each WHALE kit includes:

• An Identification card- containing a space for a photograph of the child, and important information about the child in the safety seat, such as the child's name, date of birth, pertinent medical information, and to whom to contact in an emergency.


• Plastic Identification card holder- a plastic sleeve which has adhesive backing. This holder should be attached to the child safety seat (on the back) and contain the identification card.


• Two WHALE stickers- featuring the WHALE logo, to be attached to each side of the child safety seat.


• Two WHALE stickers- features a WHALE logo, to be attached to the lower rear corner of the vehicle's windows.

The WHALE program is sponsored in this area by:
