Rider Alert Program

Harrisonburg Rescue Squad just received its shipment of rider alert cards.  We are so proud of this program and we are happy to announce that we are a part of it.  The Rider Alert Program is very popular in the United Kingdom and it has begun to spark interest across the United States.  HRS is happy to be contributing to the important cause.  Basically, motorcyclists can pick these cards up, fill out the proper information and then place them inside their helmet.  If the cyclist is to get into an accident, emergency responders can look inside the rider’s helmet and find information about their medical conditions, allergies and family contact.  It is so important that emergency personnel have access to this information so that they are able to best treat the patient.  Be sure to pick up a card for yourself, a family member, a friend or co-worker.  Stop by the Harrisonburg Rescue Squad on Reservoir Street to pick up a card and learn more about the program.  Rider alert cards are also available through Harrisonburg Fire Department, Early’s Cycle Center, Valley Kawasaki and Blue Ridge Powersports.
