| VULNERABLE POPULATION REGISTRY |
After Hurricane Wilma in 2005, many lessons were learned that will enable emergency management response teams to better plan recovery efforts after a major storm or disaster.
Many residents that were disabled, frail, or had health issues did not evacuate to a shelter and did not have family or friends to assist them during the prolonged power outages in the aftermath of Wilma. Some of these residents experienced serious difficulties. Due to the power and telephone outages some residents were not able to leave their apartments to get assistance or let anyone know that they were in need.
The Vulnerable Population Registration was designed as a joint partnership between all municipalities and Broward County to assist emergency responders to better plan for future recoveries from hurricanes and other disasters. Registering into the database should not be considered as a guarantee that you will be provided services or be placed on a priority list for emergency responders; however, it will help us to be better prepared to respond after a disaster.
All the information provided will be held in the strictest confidence as required by State law. Thank you for taking the time to help us serve you better.
