The Carter County Health Center along with the Carter County Emergency Management Agency is developing a registry of individuals with Special Healthcare Needs who may
require special assistance in the event of a disaster such as a tornado, severe
storm, flood or earthquake.
Examples of Special Healthcare Needs are individuals:
·
With severe respiratory problems (oxygen or
ventilator dependent) that require a power source or ambu bag
·
Dependent on airway suctioning (tracheotomy)
·
On IV (intravenous) therapy
·
Require tube feedings
·
Require wound care or help with injections on a
daily basis
·
With physical or mental conditions that require
daily medication
·
Language or cultural barrier
·
Hearing or Speech Impairment
This is a voluntary
registration. The information you provide will be confidential and will be used
by emergency personnel only to determine our community’s needs in the event of
a disaster. In an emergency event you may be contacted via telephone, by an
in-office staff or automated message, or by text message. Should you wish to be included in the
registry, please complete the questionnaire.
If there are any questions, feel free to call the Carter County Health Center at 573-323-4413.
**If you have already registered. Please update your
information and submit to keep your name on the registry.
