Schuylkill County Special Needs Survey

Do you or someone you know have Special Needs that would require special assistance in the event of a fire, weather related or other emergency situation?

Persons with Special Needs are defined as, "Individuals who are likely to require assistance in excess of that provided to the general public in a time of disaster, particularly in the event that large scale evacuation is necessary."  This could include those who are deaf, blind, bedridden, mentally impaired, without radio or television, or lacking transportation necessary to evacuate.

A website has been developed to collect information about persons with Special Needs living in private residences within Schuylkill County.  The information will be kept confidential and only be made available to Emergency Response Personnel during an emergency to locate and promptly assist those individuals who have special needs.

If you do not have access to a computer, you can request a paper form by calling (570) 622-3739 or by writing to:

    Schuylkill County Emergency Management Agency
    435 N. Centre St.
    Pottsville PA 17901
