You should register in the Vulnerable Population Registry if you are at risk due to a disability, frailty or health issue, regardless of age, AND elect to stay at home in the event of a hurricane or other disaster. Registration information will be used for planning purposes only. Registration does not guarantee that you will be provided assistance.
If you have a special medical need, you are strongly encouraged to register for Broward County 's Special Needs Shelter. Registration should be in advance, before a storm threatens. To register for a Special Needs Shelter and/or transportation to the shelter, call Broward County Elderly and Veterans Services Division at 954-537-2888 or TTY 954-537-2882. There are some limitations, so be sure to inquire about your specific situation when you call to register.
If you are in an evacuation zone (click here to see an evacuation map) you are strongly encouraged to evacuate to a safe refuge with a family member or friend. A Red Cross public shelter should be a refuge of last resort.
