Welcome to the Florida Special Needs Registry
The Florida Department of Health, in coordination with its county health departments and each local emergency management agency in the state, developed a registry for persons with special needs to register with their local emergency management agency to receive assistance during a disaster. The statewide registry provides first responders with valuable information to prepare for disasters or other emergencies.
Providing as much information as possible will allow emergency management officials to plan accordingly for future disasters. You will be emailed periodically to verify the information provided is correct and to make any necessary changes.

Attention Health Care Providers: If you are one of the following provider types, home health agency, hospice, nurse, registry, home medical equipment provider, or an end stage renal disease center, please contact SNR@FLHealth.gov to obtain a log in for the special needs registry to ensure you are able to use all the Health Care Provider Functions.
Why should you register?
To receive important information from local emergency management officials about evacuation and sheltering options available to you.

Will my privacy be protected?
The information within the registry will only be used in the planning for and provision of emergency and/or disaster services. Additionally, Florida Statute 252.905 declares any information furnished by a person or business to the Florida Division of Emergency Management for the purpose of being provided assistance with emergency planning is exempt from F.S. 119.07 (1) and s. 24 (a), Art. I of the State Constitution. Information provided through the registry is therefore exempt from public records requests made of the Division.
Completing the Florida Special Needs Registry does not automatically qualify the individual for a special needs shelter. Additional information will be provided by your local emergency management agency regarding evacuation and sheltering options available to you. For more information on your local options, please visit www.FloridaDisaster.org/planprepare/shelters.
