It has been two years since the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) implemented a new emergency contact information system (ECI) that allows Florida motorists to voluntarily register emergency contact information online using their Florida driver licenses or Florida identification cards. The information can then be accessed by law enforcement officers to notify designated contacts if a person is seriously injured or killed in a traffic crash or for non-traffic related incidents as well.

To date, 1.3 million people have entered their information into the system but with over 15 million drivers in the state of Florida, we have a long way to go to reach our participation goals. The Florida Department of Highway & Motor Vehicles is asking local Law Enforcement agencies in assisting with getting the word out on this very important system. Please visit the below listed website. The website is secure and will definitely assist first responders in an emergency notification scenario.
