The Vulnerable Population Registry is a tool that municipalities can use to help evaluate residents needs in their communities and assist in planning a response in an emergency.

You only need to register once and should do so in advance before a storm arrives. Residents can register online, call the Broward County Call Center at 311 or 954-831-4000 (TTY 954-831-3890) or contact their municipality’s emergency management agency for assistance.
