If you or a loved one may need special assistance during an emergency, you are strongly encouraged to participate in the Craven County Special Needs Registry.

The Departments of Emergency Services and Social Services have set up a registry of persons with special needs or who may require special attention, transportation or temporary shelter outside their home. This includes 1) those on life support systems, oxygen, or dialysis; 2) those dependent on electricity for medical equipment; 3) those with severe mental handicap or mental illness.

Please contact Mistey Lewis with the Craven County Department of Social Services at (252) 636-4900 ext. 3085 if you would like more information about this service, or for a copy of the Special Needs Registration form.
