State starts a special needs emergency registry
In order to better comply with federal requirements, the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM) has implemented a new online registry for residents with special needs.
Dubbed Register Ready–New Jersey’s Special Needs Registry for Disaster, the web-based database will provide information to the appropriate emergency response agencies so that they can better plan to support the special needs community in the event of disasters or emergencies.
