Special Needs and Emergency Preparedness

To best help our local authorities  plan for a disaster, individuals of all ages with special needs can register on the Utah Special Needs Registry. Information on the registry will be used to develop a plan to help those with special needs in an emergency. You can register yourself or your family member online or by calling 2-1-1. Children with special needs can be registered for a specific service called Emergency Medical Services for Children. This service lets parents/guardians of children with special health care needs fill out information sheets about their children, in an effort to facilitate better emergency care by EMS responders and hospitals.
