In Florida, the legislature defines special needs as "persons who would need assistance during evacuations and sheltering because of physical, mental, cognitive impairment, or sensory disabilities." The legislature further states that every Florida county's Emergency Management agency is required to maintain a registry of persons with special needs.
In Lake County, to register for the Special Needs program please go to the Special Needs Member Portal. For residents that do not have Internet access, contact our office at 352-343-9420 for more information.
