What is the definition of a special medical needs client?
A person qualifying for special medical needs is primarily someone medically dependent on electricity (i.e. electricity needed for life-support equipment), oxygen, or individuals with physical, cognitive, or medical conditions who may require basic assistance from medical professionals. Special needs clients may also include persons with regular need for assistance with medications and/or observation, dementia, chronic conditions that require assistance and persons with contagious health conditions that require minimal precautions or isolation (rare in shelter).
Any person that meets the above criteria and plans to use a public shelter during an evacuation should register by registering online now, filing out the downloadable form and submitting well in advance, or by contacting the Emergency Preparedness Division at (904) 255-3172 for assistance.
