Dallas Gay and others connected to the Partnership for a Drug Free Hall are working to have information about opioid overdose prevention in the palm of your hand. The partnership already has a downloadable checklist and a training video for the public and law enforcement regarding naloxone, the antidote for overdoses. Gay demonstrated the checklist at the partnership’s first forum Sept. 26, but the group has made the final tweaks in the last few weeks on the video and website.
