Pasco Emergency Management

A special needs shelter is a temporary emergency facility capable of providing care to residents whose medical condition is such that it exceeds the capabilities of the Red Cross Shelter but is not severe enough to require hospitalization. Health Department nurses support these shelters.

In order to accommodate residents who need evacuation assistance to a Special Needs Shelter, it is most important that they register prior to June 1st in advance of hurricane season.This will help in determining which shelter they should go to and what, if any assistance they require to evacuate.

If you feel you may qualify and are not pre-registered please complete a Special Needs Registration form.

The forms can be faxed to (727) 847-8004 or mail it to:
