Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology employing wristband transmitters to locate wandering and lost adults and children. Over 5,000,000 people in the USA have Alzheimer's. That number will triple by 2050. Well over 50% of these people wander and become lost. A lost person with Alzheimer's or other dementia represents a critical emergency as nearly half of ~ , : ~ them will die and many can become injured or fall victim to predators if they are not located within 24 hours. The number r ~ 1 ~ ~ of people, families and communities experiencing this risk will ,j~ ~~'~I' ;I~~ grow dramatically in this decade. iii If you are not yet touched in some way by Alzheimer's or related disease, chances are you will be within the next several years. You will find it among neighbors, your friends, co-workers and their families, and perhaps within your own family. The name Project Lifesaver has become internationally recognized as an active and proven program that saves lives. Law enforcement officials and other volunteers from around the USA and Europe come to the Project Lifesaver Headquarters in Chesapeake, Virginia Sheriff's Office for training. How Project Lifesaver Works Project Lifesaver is much more than a passive ID bracelet. It is an active system that relies on the most reliable technology and a specially trained search and rescue team. People who are part of the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized bracelet that emits a tracking signal. When caregivers notify the local Project Lifesaver agency that the person is missing, a search and rescue team responds to the wanderer's area and starts searching with the mobile locater tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. In nearly 1000 documented searches, there have been no reported serious injuries or deaths. Recovery times average less than 30 minutes. - _ The Project Lifesaver CARE TRAK bracelet is much more than a ~ ~v~ passive ID bracelet. It is a one-ounce battery-operated radio wrist transmitter emitting an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours-a-day. The signal is tracked on the ground or in the air over several miles. As each bracelet has a unique radio frequency, the Project Lifesaver search team positively locates and identifies the person who has wandered away from home or a care facility. me ProJecultesaver eraceiet antl spare ba°ery pack. Technology is Only Half the Story Members of the Project Lifesaver team are specially trained, not only in use of the electronic tracking equipment, but especially in the methods to communicate with a person who has Alzheimer's disease or related disorder. Locating the individual is only part of the mission. The person who is located will be disoriented, anxious, ~ , and untrusting. The Project Lifesaver teams know how to approach e ' the person, gain their trust and put them at ease for the trip back home.

How Project Lifesaver Saves Lives and Community Resources ~ ~ We have combined 'tried and true' radio technology with law enforcement ~ ` and public safety rescue teams from the local community to build an A~' effective life-saving system that has proven itself, time and again, to be • ; ~ , reliable, responsive, practical and affordable. The results speak for ~l - ' • themselves. Within five years of Project Lifesaver's creation, the program is - ~ ~ operating in 39 states and has rescued 1,050 wandering individuals within an average of 20 minutes. Following are just three of the nearly 100 stories ` that demonstrate the success and the need for Project Lifesaver rr~..„~,, throughout the nation. PL Team with mobile locator to tletec! signals from bracelet of wantlerer. • A 45 year-old man suffering from a traumatic brain injury became lost and disoriented. A deputy sheriff specially trained by Project Lifesaver used a special tracking receiver and was able to locate the man 1.5 miles from his home within 20 minutes,. A traditional search without Project Lifesaver would have normally involved the time (and expense to the taxpayers) of up to 264 searchers and 924 man hours without the special tracking system. • An 80 year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease wandered from her home at night. The family contacted Project Lifesaver upon learning she was missing. Two Sheriff's vehicles equipped with Project Lifesaver Emergency Responder Units arrived on the scene and within a short time located the woman lying in a tobacco field. She had wandered into the field, had fell, and could not get up. She was found covered with mud. Rescuers reported that a person standing up to 10 ft away from would not have noticed that a person was lying there. The woman was helpless and could have died if not located by Project Lifesaver. • A 79 year-old man with Alzheimer's left his house driving his truck. He became lost and could not find his way back home. After searching the neighborhood, a police helicopter was called in with a Project Lifesaver team member and equipment. In just 35 minutes, the helicopter located the man using the signal transmitted from his Project Lifesaver bracelet. He was found 14 miles from his home. Before he became part of Project Lifesaver, he previously wandered off and was missing for 2 days.

This may be accomplished by providing expenses for 2 instructors to come to your location, where up to 15 people will be certified as operators upon completion. Effective: 1 Jan 05 Project Lifesaver Frequently Asked Questions October 21, 2004 1. What is the cost for my agency to establish Project Lifesaver? While the program can be started with 1 Emergency Response Kit, we recommend 2 at a cost of $5,510.00. These kits include a!! of the equipment you will need to track and triangulate your searches, as well as 2 transmitters. This also includes the administrative costs for a 2-day operator certification course for up to 15 of your personnel. Your agency will also be responsible for expenses for 2 instructors to come to your agency to conduct the course. This expense has never run over $2,000.00 for prior training sessions and covers the cost of flight, Note! and transportation for two people. We provide our own food. 2. What is the cost to maintain the program? Monthly cost per transmitter in the field is $7.60. This covers the cost of the replacement battery and band, which must be replaced every 30 days. 3. How can we join? Simply call us at 757-546-5502 or email us at s~_~~~r,~~:>r:_~=~~;~;,.a:~~tfEre;;_~;?~,_.4~~ -i and we'll be happy to get you on- board. 4, Do you charge membership fees? No, agencies that are members of Project Lifesaver are not subject to membership fees. i 5. Where can we obtain funding? Most agencies joining Project Lifesaver have enjoyed much success by appealing to the community, i.e., civic, fraternal and service clubs. Also, many businesses and hospitals have assisted agencies in starting. The International Headquarters is also pursuing avenues to establish start-up funding sources and, when successful, will make them available. 6. Do we have to join Project Lifesaver to get the equipment? Yes. 7. What is a state coordinator? An agency, usually the first in a state, which agrees to have certified instructors trained and will then provide training for other agencies in their state. 8. Does Project Lifesaver accept Visa or MasterCard? Yes, we accept both. 9. How long does it take to get started? It takes approximately 5 weeks for us to receive your equipment from CareTrak. Once received, we check it and call you to arrange training dates. 10. How do we order our equipment and replacement batteries, bands, etc? All orders go through PLS Headquarters. You can telephone, fax or email your orders. z 11. Who can be a member of Project Lifesaver? ' Only public safety or government organizations may be active members. Arrangements are made for assisted living centers, etc. to participate. 12. How can we support the monthly battery and band expense? At your option, you may charge the caregiver a monthly maintenance fee. The only stipulation of the program is you don't charge more than $25.00 per month per transmitter. 13. Can we have the caregiver purchase the transmitter? Yes, however, there must be an agreement that the transmitter will be donated back to the program when no longer needed. You must maintain control of all transmitters in your area and it must be obtained through you. 14. Can the batteries be recharged? The batteries used in the receiver can be recharged. The batteries used in the transmitter cannot be recharged. All replacement batteries must be ordered through Project Lifesaver for equipment warranties to be maintained. 15. What type of warranty do transmitters and receivers have? All equipment has asix-year warranty. 3 t 16. How long has Project Lifesaver been around? Project Lifesaver started in early 1999. Stokes County Mountain started the concept. Chesapeake Sheriff's 43rd Virginia Search and Rescue refined the idea, established certified training, and launched the program to international status. 17. How many communities do you presently serve? As of October 21, 2004, we are in over 300 localities and in 39 states (United States statistics). 18. What is your success rate? As of October 21, 2004, we have had 1049 rescues within an average of 30 minutes time with no failures. 19. Can our local people become certified instructors for others in our state? Yes. We will stay one extra day and train up to 5 people. There is no additional charge for extra day of training if it is scheduled in advance. This will certify state coordinator or in-house instructors. 20. Is there a guarantee a person wearing a PLS transmitter will be located? While at the present time, Project Lifesaver agencies have achieved a 100% recovery rate, there is no one who can give such a guarantee. It doesn't make any difference what technology or procedures are used. Each search for a missing person involves different variables; after all, we are dealing with people, which in itself makes these incidents unpredictable. However, we do feel strongly that Project Lifesaver has the best equipment and procedures to increase the likelihood of "Bringing Your Loved Ones Home". 4 Intelli enceReport® °`a"`"~, By lyric Wallwork wlnik ~ - DEAR- ABBY. ~ • 1 ~ ~ • ~ : ~ ~ Program helps protect ate.mghtcorrucJayLeriohasa"bee("wrthlodsr' Alzheimer's patients books.,'Too manyare too seno[a and-rwt era(gCi..
