Vulnerable Population Registry
At risk or vulnerable populations are often those who live independently or with the help of a caregiver, and yet may need additional assistance in the event of a disaster, especially in the area of transportation.
These populations include, but are not limited to:
- Those with a disability, frail or have significant health issues
- Elderly with no family/friend assistance
- Social or behavioral challenges
- Homeless
The Vulnerable Population Registry has been designed to assist public health and other emergency workers to better plan for future disasters. Registering into the systems should not be considered a guarantee that you will be placed on a priority list for emergency responders; however it will make us aware of your individual situation and help us to be better prepared to assist you.
If you may need assistance during a disaster, or know of someone who may need assistance, contact Fargo Cass Public Health Monday through Friday 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m at 701-476-4016.
