The York County Special Needs Registry is a free, confidential, and voluntary program offered by the Office of Emergency Management to aid local municipalities in identifying those residents in their communities who may need additional assistance during an emergency or disaster, as required by state law. This includes, but is not limited to, individuals: -with mobility difficulties -with intellectual or developmental disabilities -with sight or hearing impairments -with special medical equipment -without a reliable or consistent form of transportation -without access to emergency information via TV, radio, internet Any information provided is collected into a spreadsheet and then forwarded to municipal Emergency Management Agencies to assist in emergency planning and response efforts. The Registry can be used for more than just evacuation purposes -- the information it provides is also helpful in any emergency situation (fire, chemical spill, police incident, etc).
