The National Silver Alert Program

Time is of the essence when individuals with Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders wander off or become lost.

Approximately 50% of those who wander away may suffer serious injury or death if not found within 24 hours.

The National Silver Alert Program was developed to provide vital information to authorities to assist in the search and safe recovery of these individuals, and quickly reunite them with their loved ones and/or caregivers.

The free, online registration program records vital health, personal, medical and caregiver information, as well as a photograph of each registered individual.

This information is stored in a secure, online database, where it can be accessed by emergency responders via the National Silver Alert call center's toll-free, emergency phone number.

This program is open to ALL senior citizens and individuals with Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders, regardless of age, who wish to have their vital health, personal, medical and caregiver information readily available in the event of an emergency.

Silver Alert - The Amber Alert for Seniors

Modeled after the Amber Alert, the Silver Alert is an emergency system in which law enforcement can broadcast regional or statewide alerts for missing seniors and/or other adults with Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders.

A growing number of states are enacting laws that call for the development of the Silver Alert program and some have implemented their own notification systems.

In April, 2008, U.S. Rep. Gus M. Bilirakis (R-FL), introduced legislation that would establish a national grant program to help U.S. States and territories establish Silver Alert notification systems to locate missing individuals suffering from dementia related illnesses.
