2	Project Lifesaver Project Lifesaver is an innovative and rapidly growing program aiding the victims and families suffering Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders such as Autism.
3	Project Lifesaver Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology employing wristband transmitters that emits a unique radio signal 24 hours a day to locate wandering and lost adults and children.
4	Project Lifesaver If the person wanders, a call to 9-1-1 by the caregiver triggers a rapid response search by a trained team within the Cowlitz County Search and Rescue that is coordinated through the Sheriff’s Office.
5	Project Lifesaver Searchers use radio frequency receivers to locate the bracelets. Radio frequency tracking is reliable, practical, and is proven effective. Average location time using this system is less than 30 minutes.
6	Project Lifesaver Agencies using Project Lifesaver have reduced search times dramatically. Searches that lasted hours and utilized dozens of search and rescue personnel are now accomplished in under an hour by small specialized teams.
7	Project Lifesaver Members of the Project Lifesaver team are specially trained, not only in use of the electronic tracking equipment, but also in the methods to communicate with a person who has Alzheimer's disease or related disorder. The Project Lifesaver teams knows how to approach the person, gain their trust and put them at ease for the trip back home.
8	Project Lifesaver The Alzheimer’s Association of Western Washington endorses and supports Project Lifesaver. We recognize that this new technology will provide an important safety net for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias in our community.
