The Special Needs Evacuation Assistance Program may be used for any emergency requiring evacuation. Resources are limited and those persons registered will have priority when an emergency arises. Do not wait until an evacuation order is given to request being added to the Registry.

The Special Needs and Evacuation Assistance Program is designed for:

citizens who reside in an ordered evacuation zone, recommended evacuation zone or unsafe residence; and

will require limited medical oversight; and/or

transportation to and from a designated emergency shelter.

It is important that everyone be responsible for their own safety and make a plan that includes where to go, who to contact, what to bring, and how to get there. Registering on this website is not a guarantee that emergency officials will be able to assist you in an emergency.

Why should you register at Martin County Special Needs?

To receive important information from local emergency management officials about evacuations.

Information you provided will allow emergency management officials to plan for future disasters.

IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT!

Completing the Special Needs Registry does not automatically qualify the individual for a special needs medical shelter. Additional information will be provided by your local emergency management agency regarding sheltering and evacuation assistance.
