The Special Needs Registry (SNR) has been developed for individuals that may require special assistance from emergency services personnel during a disaster or other emergency.

1. Go to the SNR website  at http://www.specialneedsutah.org
2. Fill in the requested special needs information
3. Submit your information online
4. Update your information on an annual basis

Or as easy as dialing 2-1-1
Dial 2-1-1 to speak with a Special Needs Representative.

Information that you may be asked to provide includes:
Life sustaining medication
Vision, hearing, and/or speech impairments
Supplemental oxygen
Life-sustaining equipment
Mobility and/or homecare assistance
Service animal
Help family and friends register

If you have a client, neighbor, friend, or family member that may require special assistance in time of an emergency, please share this information with them and offer to assist them in entering the appropriate information.

The Registry has been created as a supplement to an overall personal emergency preparedness plan.  You should have personal equipment and supplies to last a minimum of 72 hours in the event of an emergency.  Registration with the Special Needs Registry does not guarantee emergency services.
