The Importance of Having Medical Information Available for First Responders - File of Life 

At Sonoma Valley Fire District, the safety and well-being of our community are our top priorities. In the event of a medical emergency, having quick access to important health information can be life-saving. When first responders arrive, we need to act fast, and every second counts.

Having your medical information readily available can help us provide the most effective care. Key details such as medical conditions, allergies, medications, emergency contacts, and advanced directives allow us to tailor our response to meet your specific needs, even if you are unable to communicate due to the nature of the emergency.

We strongly encourage all residents to maintain up-to-date medical information in an easily accessible location. You can share this information with family members, caregivers, or close neighbors so that it is readily available to first responders when needed.

To help you keep your medical information organized and accessible, we offer a downloadable fillable form called "File for Life." This form should be updated as needed when medical conditions or medications change. Once completed, place the form on your refrigerator, where it can be easily found by first responders in an emergency.

Remember, it's not just about being prepared for emergencies — it's about ensuring we can respond to you in the best possible way. Your health and safety are our top concern, and having this information on hand can help us make critical decisions in the moments that matter most.

Thank you for helping us help you!
