Emergency Information

Register Ready - NJ Special Needs Registry

What is the NJ Special Needs Registry?

The NJ 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.

Who Should Register?

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.

Who Sees Registry Information?

You will only be asked for information necessary to get you to the safest place possible, if you have no other means to evacuate.

The NJ Special Needs Registry complies with all laws to protect your privacy and confidential information. Our only goal is to keep you and your loved ones safe.

A caregiver should accompany you to your pre-selected location or a public shelter, if possible. Make a back-up evacuation plan, in case your caregiver is unavailable.
