The Northampton County Medical Needs Registry is an emergency preparedness tool that will be used by local emergency managers to communicate with people who have medical needs for emergency preparedness planning. The Medical Need Registry contains the names and addresses of individuals with medical needs or health conditions who cannot manage independently in a general shelter or evacuation center in an emergency. The Medical Needs Registry may be used for any emergency requiring evacuation such as floods, hurricanes, hazardous material spills and gas leaks. The Medical Needs Registry is voluntary and all information collected will be kept confidential.
