Community Connect is a free emergency notification system that helps first responders know who may need extra assistance during an evacuation. By creating a confidential profile, you can share important information about your household, such as mobility needs, medical equipment, transportation challenges, pets, or other factors that could affect your ability to evacuate safely.
Signing up does not guarantee rescue or evacuation assistance, but it gives emergency personnel access to information that can help them better plan and prioritize resources during an emergency. The information is only available to authorized emergency responders and is used to support preparedness, response, and evacuation efforts.
If you or someone in your household may need additional support during an emergency, registering with Community Connect is a simple step you can take today to improve your preparedness and help first responders better serve your community.
