Hurricane Ian: Special Needs Shelters

Special Needs Registry - https://snr.flhealthresponse.com/

Residents who wish to participate in the Special Needs Program, either for transportation assistance to a public shelter or supplemental medical assistance in a public shelter during a disaster, must enroll and update registration information.

Enroll Online – use the Florida Department of Health web-based secure registration tool – individuals can self-register or have their caregiver or a relative register for them.
​
All “medical needs” registrations will be confidentially reviewed by a public health nurse to determine if each enrollee’s needs can be met in the special needs shelter. Enrollees may be contacted directly by the reviewing nurse to discuss their care needs. Addresses of enrollees requiring transportation to a public shelter during an evacuation will be mapped to determine bus pick-up routes prior to disaster impact.
