Spread the word about the county's special needs assistance program.
The fliers below discuss the benefits of the Special Needs Registry. Westchester County residents, who may need assistance if they were to evacuate their homes in emergency situations, may apply to have their names added to the registry. Signing up is completely voluntary and all applications will be screened and evaluated.
Note that while this database is confidential, it will be shared with local, state and federal agencies that might be involved in an emergency response so they know where extra help may be needed.
Feel free to print and distribute the Special Needs flier to anyone you think might be appropriate for this registry.
