PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
This program is designed for people who would need assistance, or who depend on medical assistance, and would need special care should there be an emergency evacuation.
The program is coordinated by the Emergency Management Division with the assistance of Emergency Medical Services, Council on Aging and the School Board.
A dedicated PSN ( people with special needs) shelter is established when evacuations occur. This facility is staffed by personnel from the Health Dept., EMS, and local physicians, and is stocked with needed supplies.
Pre-registration is key for PSN's. During an emergency is not the time to get on the PSN list. If you would like to receive a registration form for yourself or someone you think needs to be on the PSN registry, please contact our office at (386) 313-4200. You may also email your request to
