Sierra Madre 
Senior 
Community 
Commission 
to Give Out 
File of Life 
Packet

The File of Life is a 
program that allows 
Sierra Madre residents 
to fill out a special form 
with critical medical 
information and make 
it available to the local 
paramedics in case of a 
medical emergency. The 
information is stored in 
a plastic envelope in the 
resident’s refrigerator 
and a decal on the 
resident’s front window 
alerts EMS personnel 
that the information 
is available on the 
premises.

The Senior Community 
Commission, in 
conjunction with the 
Sierra Madre Fire 
Department’s Life Savers 
Program, is making 
File of Life packets 
available to Sierra Madre 
residents at no charge. 
The packets will be 
distributed for the first 
time at the Preparedness 
Festival on September 
11 – 9 am to 3 pm in 
Memorial Park. After 
the event the packets will 
be available at the Hart 
Park House - Senior 
Center, City Hall and the 
Fire Department.

Commissioners and 
volunteers will be 
available at the event 
to help seniors fill out 
the form. For further 
information, please 
contact the Senior 
Services Desk at (626)
