Welcome to the Minnesota Emergency Disabiliity Services organization, a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We provide an array of unique, but vitally essential services to those within our communities who live with special challenges. Our programs provide emergency resources that allow those within the communities we serve to live, work, play and navigate through their communities.
Our services prevent those who live with special challenges from becoming stranded, institutionalized or injured. We address those issues through our Trap Ride, Disaster Relief, and Safety Lighting Systems initiatives.
It is important to stand together, especially during life events of turmoil and stressful times felt by those we serve, so that we can band together as a community to lift our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and veterans up, in light of their unique situations.
Minnesota Emergency Disability Services’ goal is to assist and serve our most vulnerable citizens who live with any type of disability.
SAFETYNET PILOT PROGRAM
Minnesota Emergency Disability Services (MEDS) is proud to
announce our new partnership with SafetyNet Tracking Systems
(SafetyNet) under a unique pilot program. SafetyNet is a
Boston, Massachusetts-based company that specializes in
protection, identification, and tracking solutions for
people with cognitive conditions. They are currently
operational in 20 states including Minnesota. The overall
goal of this pilot program is to enhance the day-to-day
shopping experience for those families who enjoy outings
with someone who copes with the challenges of wandering,
stemming from conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia,
autism, and Down syndrome, just to name a few. learn more
