Fire launches Special Needs Assistance Program
The Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) is a database which assists the city's first responders to know the special needs of an individual in our community if they are called to respond to their home. This program also helps emergency management plan to assist them in the case of a disaster.
Who qualifies?
Any adult or child who lives within Burleson city limits and who may have an access or functional need that would require assistance before, during or after a personal emergency or local disaster. Some examples include:
those who have limited or no mobility,
require supplemental oxygen,
have a cognitive disorder and/or,
cannot care for themselves or have a family member that cannot care for themselves.
The best way to prevent car burglaries is to lock your doors and take all of your valuables out of your car. This friendly reminder is brought to you by the Tri-County Auto Theft Task Force.
With springtime approaching it is important to understand the different alerts from the City's outdoor warning system. Learn more.
