All emergencies begin and end locally. In the aftermath of 9/11,
officials in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security endorsed
local efforts to assist residents in obtaining emergency services.

What is R.U.OK?

R.U.OK? is our local effort to ensure Wilton residents are safe and obtain needed services in the event of an emergency, such as a large-scale power outage. It is neighbors helping neighbors.  Town Volunteers will check on registered residents to ensure they are safe and secure. When assistance is needed, appropriate emergency response crews will be notified and given relevant information pertaining to the needs of the individual.

How does R.U.OK work?

In the event of an emergency, volunteers will call town residents who have registered with the program.  If it is determined that extra assistance is needed, local emergency services will be contacted.  Because registrants already have their information in this confidential database, emergency responders can best meet the needs of the resident.

What else should I know about this program?

• R.U.OK? is a FREE service. However, it is not a guarantee of  
  services of  any  kind.

• This is not a substitute for 911.

• All completed applications will be distributed to your local Fire and
  Ambulance services.

• Each participant will receive written confirmation of receipt of their
  application.

• Updates to the Registry Database will be made annually and upon
   participant’s written request.

• Addresses obtained from the Registry Database will be located
   through the use of the Town’s computerized GIS (Geographic
   Information System) assuring quick response time in the event that
   Emergency Responders are needed.
