Wisconsin Public Radio ran an interesting story this morning; a Wisconsin Legislator is introducing legislation to create "silver alerts" in the State. Similar to Amber Alerts, these public service announcements would alert the public to a dementia patient who has gone missing. Piggybacking on the current Amber Alert system means that there would be no added expenditure to create this program.

I'll post updates as the legislation progresses.
