Due to high bacteria levels detected in the water, King County Public Health has advised residents to not enter the water, avoid contact with lake water, and to keep children away from the shoreline at Gene Coulon Beach Park until further notice.
The Take Me Home Program(PDF, 368KB) was designed for the safe return of loved ones who may have difficulty communicating or may need special assistance during an emergency situation. This kind of assistance may be needed if the person is unable to speak or properly identify themselves, or if they become disoriented or act in a manner that could be misinterpreted by first responders.
If a person registered in the system is encountered by a police officer, the officer can query the database searching by name, physical description or unique characteristics. Once their record has been located the officer has the information at-hand to appropriately assist the person.
This program is for individuals with autism, Down syndrome, developmental or cognitive disabilities. It is also intended to assist senior citizens who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's.
