The City is encouraging individuals who require special assistance during emergencies to enroll in its Special Needs Registry. The registry allows first responders to appropriately plan for, prepare for and respond to community needs.
The Special Needs Registry includes all individuals, regardless of age, with chronic conditions, disabilities, special healthcare needs, or who may require additional assistance during an emergency.
A family member, caregiver, or authorized representative can enroll an individual on their behalf. Residents may enroll in the Special Needs Registry by calling the South Padre Island Fire Department at (956) 761-6456.
Here is our RAVE link so that you can sign up for our emergency notification system.
Registering to STEAR DOES NOT guarantee service during an emergency. STEAR registry information provides local emergency planners and responders with information about the needs of individuals.
