Premise Alert Program

Illinois Premise Alert Program Protects Disabled & Special Needs Residents

The Illinois Premise Alert Program (Public Act 96-0788) allows people with special needs to provide information to police, fire, and EMS personnel to be stored in a database for use in an emergency situation. The information can then be provided to responders dealing with situations involving the special needs individuals.

The information provided will be kept confidential and used only to provide police, fire, and EMS personnel with the information needed to deal with situations or emergencies involving a special needs person. The information will expire 2 years after the date it was submitted and will no longer be maintained in the database. You may update or renew it at any time by completing and submitting the Premise Alert Program Notification Form (PDF).

No Preferential Treatment

Individuals must understand that the information provided to the Premise Alert Program will not result in any type of preferential treatment to the individual and that the Village of Flossmoor, its Fire Department, nor will any other responding agencies be held liable for duties relating to the reporting of special needs individuals.
