The Vulnerable Population Registry is for residents that 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 to stay at a Broward County Special Needs Shelter during a hurricane. 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.
