Special Needs Registry Overview and Registration Website
Special needs shelters are designed to meet the needs of persons who require assistance that exceeds services provided at a general population shelter. A special needs shelter is a place to go when there is no other sheltering option. Shelters may be activated during an emergency event to provide mass care for people who cannot safely remain in their home. Special Needs Shelters are intended to provide, to the extent possible under emergency conditions, an environment that can sustain an individual's level of health.
- If a person is medically stable but needs help with basic tasks or uses an electronic medical device and has no other evacuation options, they should pre-register for the special needs shelter. Follow this link below to register online: Online Special Needs Registry
Program Guidelines
People with disabilities are not required to go to a Special Needs Shelter. Some people with disabilities can be safely accommodated in a general population shelter. The capabilities of the Special Needs Shelter vary based upon a community's needs and available resources. Registering with the Special Needs Program automatically enrolls you in ALERT Collier for emergency communications.
Registration Criteria
- People whose care exceeds the basic first aid provided at general population shelters
- People who are reliant on oxygen or electricity for life sustainment.
- People with impairments or disabilities who are medically stable and do not require medical care
Note: All registrations for the special needs shelter are reviewed by a medical professional, and information may be verified with your medical provider.
