The City of Orange Township Office of Emergency Management, in cooperation with the NJ Office of Emergency Management and the NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, maintains a statewide registry for residents with special needs.

This survey is voluntary and free. It is designed to assist first responders and emergency planners in identifying those residents that may need assistance in evacuating during an emergency so they may develop the necessary plans.

It will also aid emergency planners in the development of shelter plans for those residents with special needs.

The Special Needs Registry is designed to help emergency responders locate and safely evacuate people who could find it difficult to help themselves in the event of a major disaster, such as a hurricane.

The Registry has been established to collect information emergency responders will need to help locate and evacuate people with Special Needs during an emergency, when a family or caregiver are unable to help them.

You, or someone on your behalf, should register if you may find it difficult to get to safety with family or friends or to a public shelter during an emergency evacuation, because of a physical or cognitive limitation, language barrier, or lack of transportation.
