Everyone who signs up gets a lock box, and a once daily phone call to check on their welfare. If the participant cannot be contacted after three computer operated phone calls an emergency contact is alerted. After that first responders at the Arcata Fire District are notified. Only first responders have access to the lock-boxes, and can enter homes for welfare checks.
