Silver Alert

October 8th, 2008 by Mike Vasilinda

With the stroke of his pen, Governor Charlie Crist has created a Silver Alert system in Florida. Similar to Amber Alerts, the Silver Alert is designed to create a wide spread lookout for seniors who wander from their surrounds. It was created after Mary Lallucci’s mother checked her self out of a Pinellas County nursing home and accidentally drove into the intercoastal waterway.

“And I hope our tragedy saves lives, and I know it wills saves lives. That’s the only thing that brings comfort to my family….is that our tragedy will save someone else’s life. And we thank all of you,” says Lallucci.

The state plan is patterned after a Pinellas County plan that has been in effect 3 months.
