READY NOTIFY PA is a community alert system that allows our residents to sign up for a variety of emergency alerts from severe weather to threats to our homeland security. Sunscribers have the option of receiving alerts via E-mail, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or cell phones.
The Bucks County Emergency Management Agency, in partnership with the Bucks County Health Department and the Bucks County Commissioners, has created the Special Needs Registry for individuals who will require assistance during an emergency. Lessons learned from past disasters make it clear that it is never too early to prepare. Advanced planning and preparedness are especially important for people with special needs, which is defined as those individuals who cannot receive, understand or act upon emergency protective orders. During a natural or manmade disaster that requires evacuation, it is important that everyone be prepared to evacuate him or herself to the greatest extent possible. However, there will be those who must rely on emergency responders despite their individual preparedness efforts. In those instances, emergency responders must be able to rapidly identify the location, accessibility issues and mobility requirements of individuals.
The Special Needs Registry is a free, voluntary, and strictly confidential program. It is designed to help those who would have difficulty during an evacuation because of physical or cognitive limitations, language barriers, or lack of transportation. It will help our first responders make the best use of limited time and resources to help those with no other options for evacuation during an emergency. Individuals, or caregivers on their behalf, are able to register electronically by accessing www.specialneedspa.org or by contacting Richland Township or the County’s Emergency Management Agency.
