SPECIAL NEEDS VOLUNTARY REGISTRATION

Butler County Emergency Management Agency in conjunction with the Butler County Health Department is attempting to develop a registry of individuals with Special Healthcare Needs who may require special assistance in the event of a disaster such as a tornado, severe storm, chemical spill or earthquake.

Examples of Special Healthcare Needs are individuals:

• With severe respiratory problems (oxygen or ventilator dependent) that require a power source or ambu bag
• Dependent on airway suctioning (tracheotomy)
• On IV (intravenous) therapy
• Require tube feedings
• Require wound care or help with injections on a daily basis
• With physical or mental conditions that require daily medication
• Language or cultural barrier
• Hearing or Speech Impairment

This is a voluntary registration. The information you provide will be confidential and will be used by emergency personnel only to determine our community’s needs in the event of a disaster. Should you wish to be included in the registry, please complete the questionnaire and submit.

If there are any questions, feel free to call Butler County Emergency Management Office at 573-686-8686 or the Butler County Health Department at 573-785-8478.
