Media release from Floyd County, GA – Government:
Floyd County E-911, in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Communications Authority (GECA), announces a new online submission form for the Logan’s Law database. This feature will help 9-1-1 operators to alert first responders of any individuals in the home who may have special needs.
“In an emergency, safety is always a primary concern,” said Sommer Robinson, Floyd County E-911 Director. “We are encouraging all Rome and Floyd County residents to call or complete our new online form to register your family member to ensure the correct response in case of an emergency.”
The Logan’s Law Database is not a new program. The database has been in place and has long served as a resource for first responders by providing critical information about individuals who may have communication challenges, special needs, medical conditions, or other circumstances that could affect emergency interactions.
The new online form replaces the previous method of collecting and storing information, offering a more efficient and accessible way for residents to submit updates and ensure records remain current. Floyd County E-911 hopes to increase participation and improve the accuracy of information available to emergency personnel when responding to calls. Residents are encouraged to review their existing information and submit updates through the new online system as needed.
This feature helps dispatchers:
- Respond more compassionately once dispatched
- Identify any triggers that may be overwhelming to an individual
- Assist first responders in knowing who or what to look for
- Promote cost efficiency by providing the most appropriate response
- Reducing burden on law enforcement, public health, and other safety resources
