The goal of the program is to support local jurisdictions’ efforts to reduce the number of deaths and injuries of individuals with forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease or developmental disabilities such as autism who, due to their condition, wander from safe environments, through the implementation of proactive programs and the acquisition of locative technology. Projects should accomplish one or both program objectives: Objective 1: Design, establish, or operate holistic, locally based, proactive programs to locate or prevent the wandering of individuals with forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s Disease or developmental disabilities such as autism who, due to their condition, wander from safe environments. Objective 2: Purchase, develop, or implement locally based tracking technology for individuals with forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s Disease or developmental disabilities such as autism who, due to their condition, wander from safe environments. Performance Measure 1: Number of vulnerable individuals provided locative tracking devices; and, Performance Measure 2: Number of first responders, school personnel, clinicians and members of the public that received grant-funded training.
