Are you are at risk during emergency situations and require special planning (which may involve transportation and/or sheltering)? Will you find it difficult to get to safety with family or friends or to a public shelter during an emergency evacuation, because of a physical or cognitive limitation, language barrier, or lack of transportation? If so, you should register for the Joint Emergency Evacuation Plan (JEEP). This database will help the Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services (FRES) coordinate assistance. The Suffolk County Office of Emergency Management maintains the confidential JEEP database and activates it prior to an impending disaster.
You can register at the Suffolk County Department Emergency Preparedness Registry. For more information, questions, or if you require assistance applying call (631) 852-4900. IT MAY JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE!
