Overview:
States and local communities employ special needs registries that identify individuals who may need special assistance during an emergency. Research a registry in the United States, the application process for the registry, and how the information is compiled, stored, and used.
Instructions:
• Identify the strengths and limitations of the registry.
o Does the jurisdiction have a registry in place that is easy to access and register?
o Is the registry clear on how this information will be used? Does the registry actually capture the said population? Please explain.
• Conclude with suggestions for improving the functionality of the registry.
• Putting yourself in the position of an individual with a special need, does the registry include information you would need for sheltering? If yes, briefly describe the information it provides. If no, recommend a resource that can be provided here and briefly explain its validity.
Requirements:
• Submit a Microsoft Word document in APA format.
• Two to three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference pages.
• At least two resources
