Welcome to the Florida Disability Disaster Plan web page. This resource, developed by Volunteer Florida and hosted by the Florida Division of Emergency Management, is one of several tools available to help persons with disabilities and their families develop a "Florida specific" Disaster Plan.
This site's goal is to provide persons with disabilities information on special needs registration by county in the most accessible format possible. It has been designed with few graphics, and avoids the use of JavaScript, image maps, complex navigation schemes, and other techniques that can create barriers to access in order to ensure this page is as user-friendly as possible for people using assistive technologies.
The links below will provide you with contact information for your county Special Needs Registry. The information we are able to provide varies: Some counties have registration forms available online in a downloadable format or that can be electronically submitted, while others may have only a telephone number for registration.
If you are medically dependent on electricity, need transportation to evacuate, or assistance to maintain health due to disability, it is important that you research your county's Special Needs Registry. Each county handles the registry of persons with special needs and the provision of services for persons with special needs a little differently. Special Needs Shelters provide a level of medical care beyond basic first aid to maintain the health status of persons who are medically stable and do not require a level of services beyond the capacity of the shelter.
Other information on disaster planning for persons with disabilities can also be accessed from this site by clicking on the informational links above. These portals will provide additional information on topics related to disaster planning for persons with disabilities.
