"SPECIAL NEEDS" IT IS TIME TO REGISTER WITH THE COUNTY FOR EMERGENCY HELP

The information below was first brought to the attention of our community by us in 2008  with a similar post.  If you have a "Special Need "  this is important for you to note.  Also  If you know someone who needs this information please share this message so they can be prepared by June.

Hurricane Season is starting soon.  Residents with "special needs" are encouraged to take precautions in the event of a storm.

Collier County has addressed the issue of “special needs” citizens. This concern is assigned to County Staff in the Emergency Management Department.

Emergency Management Staff will send help to “special needs” individuals if they are registered.  This requires that the person complete an initial data form, and then update it yearly. Further information may be obtained by calling:  252 8060  or using the web site below:



VeronaWalk  residents, who have “Special Needs,” need to “self report” who they are, first to the Emergency Management Staff, and then to our Town Manager. Their “needs” should also be identified so if there is an emergency  needed specialized equipment can be matched to individual needs.
