In accordance with Florida Statute 252.355, registration is for residents who have physical, mental or sensory disability and require assistance during an emergency. Charlotte County 应急管理 along with the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County will strive to provide special needs sheltering and/or transportation to a general shelter in accordance with the statute.
有 三级护理 that may be available for an emergency:
公共避难所
Public shelters are places to go if you have no other choice. There is no need to register for the public shelter unless you have no transportation to get there. Public shelters require that evacuees provide their own bedding, 食物, and 水. If possible pets will be admitted to public shelters depending on if they have a facility available or not. You must provide vaccination records, a cage, have enough 食物/水, a leash, and litter boxes.
特殊需要庇护所
Special needs shelters are available for those individuals that require medical assistance that is not available at a public shelter. Only basic medical assistance and monitoring will be available. Oxygen will be provided to those persons who require it. All persons must be accompanied by a caregiver and provide their own bedding, 食物, 水, 药物, and transfer oxygen devices. No pets are allowed unless they are a service animal. You must also provide the pet's 食物, 水, leash, and litter box.
医院
Any person with conditions that cannot be cared for in the special needs shelter must be admitted to a hospital and arrangements should be made prior via your personal Physician before June 1.
