Would
you need special assistance
during an emergency? A Special
Needs Disaster Registry is
available for Lassen County
residents with disabilities,
impairment and special health
care needs. The registry
contains names and information
of those with special needs
in our community. It will
be used by local emergency
response personnel to locate
people during a disaster
as well as help Lassen County
prepare a Special Needs Shelter
to fit our community’s
needs. All information is
confidential and will only
be shared when necessary
with emergency response agencies.
Being on the registry does
not necessarily guarantee
that you will get help first
during the many demands of
a disaster; however, disaster
workers will be aware that
you need special assistance
and it will be a priority
to help you.
Being prepared saves lives.
Be sure to have an emergency
plan and kit for your own
household. Remember to update
your information on the Special
Needs Disaster Registry annually
and if any changes occur
as part of your personal
emergency plan. To update
the registry or for more
information on being prepared
