Specific Needs Disaster Voluntary
Registry
The
purpose of this registry is to
facilitate the planning and
implementation of disaster response by
first-responder agencies to Specific
Needs persons living in the County of
Los Angeles. The registry is a project
of the Los Angeles County Office of
Emergency Management in cooperation with
other cities and agencies in the Los
Angeles County disaster response
operational area.
If you (or
the person you are registering) live in
Los Angeles County and have any of the
following conditions which might impede
with your abilities to evacuate a
building, travel to or stay safely in an
emergency evacuation center, or to
securely shelter in place without
assistance, then you may want to
consider enrolling in the Registry.
Should a
disaster strike in your area, this
registry will be used to enhance the
efficiency of those agencies called upon
to respond. Enrollees are not
prioritized for first consideration or
evacuation. However the responding
agencies will use this information to
maximize their capacity to serve those
with specific needs, both in the
planning and preparation process, as
well as in their actual post-disaster
response.
