North Palm Beach, FL 33408
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety is available to speak to homeowner associations and/or resi-
dents in reference to hurricane preparedness. Please contact Assistant Director George Warren at 841-3318.
PALM BEACH COUNTY SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM FOR HURRICANES
AND OTHER MAJOR EMERGENCIES: APPLICANT INFORMATION
Palm Beach County has established a Special Needs Program to provide for citizens with certain medical problems during a major
emergency. The Special Care Unit is a facility that has auxiliary electrical power, is wind resistant, not flood prone, and with physi-
cians and nurses on staff. Occupants are provided with non-dietetic food and medial supervision.
To be eligible for the Special Needs Program, you must pre-register and meet the following established criteria:
• Oxygen-dependent residents requiring electricity.
• Insulin-dependent diabetics requiring Insulin refrigeration and supervisory medical care.
• Patients who are too immobile and/or have chronic stable illness, but are not suitable for a regular shelter.
The official application form and Statement of Understanding must be completed with your doctor and returned to the Division of
Emergency Management. The Health Department will determine if you are eligible for this program.
If you do not live in an area which must be evacuated prior to a hurricane and have certain medical problems, there are alternatives
to applying for the Special Needs Program:
• Talk to your doctor about your sheltering alternatives to the Special Care Units
• Install impact-resistant hurricane shutters
• Installing or retro-bracing garage doors for resistance to higher winds
• Reinforcing roof trusses or roof framing systems
• Making arrangements with your oxygen vendor for an adequate supply of portable oxygen cylinders to sustain you in the event
you lose electrical service
• Buy a portable electrical generator
• Buy insulin that does not require refrigeration (with your doctor's approval)
• Designate a safe room such as a bathroom or large interior closet and stock up on supplies (drinking water, non-perishable food,
battery-powered radio, etc.)
SPACE AT THE SHELTER IS LIMITED! PRIORITIZATION IS BASED ON NEED!
THERE IS NORMALLY A WAITING LIST: BE SURE TO PRE-REGISTER NOW
All eligible registrants must bring all required medical supplies and equipment when reporting to the shelter. All eligible registrants
should be accompanied by a caregiver, as the volunteer medical staff will be unfamiliar with your medical condition and treatment.
We will try to assist anyone who needs transportation to the best of our ability but the primary responsibility for movement to the
Special Care Unit is the individual.
Following a hurricane, Special Care Unit occupants will not be released until the area from which they came has been determined
safe for their return. The American Red Cross, the Palm Beach Count? Division of Human Services, and the Florida Department of
Family and Children Services will care for SCU occupants whose homes have been destroyed or rendered unsafe for occupancy.
If you or a member of your family meets the established criteria for the Special Care Unit, we need to know your circumstances.
Any information you provide us will be used only to properly provide for your care during a major emergency and Florida law pro-
tects the confidentiality.
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE
BE SURE TO PRE-REGISTER EARLY IN HURRICANE SEASON
Also available through the county is a Transportation Assistance Pro rg
am. If Palm Beach County is threatened by a hurricane some
areas such as barrier islands, property within two blocks of the Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal Waterway and all mobile home parks
may be considered at high risk and ordered evacuated. If you live in an area that is ordered evacuated and you need assistance you
need to register with the Transportation Assistance Program; be sure to pre-register early in hurricane season.
Applications for the Special Needs and Transportation Assistance programs can be obtained at the Village of North Palm Beach
Public Safety Building or for further information about the Special Needs and Transportation Assistance Programs go to the web site
