Vial of Life Program


This month the West Valley City Neighborhood Services Office in partnership with the West Valley City Fire and Police Departments, Pioneer Valley Hospital and the West Valley City Community Corps Council launched a new program called the “Vial of Life.” This program is for West Valley City residents only.


The Vial of Life is an emergency preparedness program to help make West Valley City more disaster resistant and resilient through citizen volunteer involvement. The purpose of the Vial of Life program is to encourage residents, particularly those who are home bound, living alone,
or with special medical needs, to compile personal information and place it where it can be easily located by 911 responders in the event of an emergency. The vial comes with a personal information sheet, a vial to keep the information sheet(s) in, and a refrigerator magnet to place on the refrigerator door to alert emergency personal of the homes participation in the program. More information is available online at: www.wvc-ut.gov/vial
