Abstract

A kit and a systematic method for alerting emergency responders of an exact location in which they have been dispatched. The system includes a container for holding medication, a strobe light and indicia for signaling the emergency responders as they approach the dispatched location. The container includes a removable seal and a hinged cap for accessing an interior volume thereof. A desiccant is secured to the bottom of the container for absorbing moisture. The kit may be powered via a solar power assembly. Further, the strobe light can be remotely activated via a conspicuous lighted button. In operation, the indicia is positioned on the exterior of a residence that indicates the user'"'"'s address. As a user feels an onset of a heart attack or other emergency, then takes the medication, dials 9-1-1 immediately, unlocks the door and activates the strobe light.
