This system enables us to provide you with critical information quickly in a variety of situations, such as severe weather, critical law enforcement activity, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.

You will receive time-sensitive messages wherever you specify, such as your home, mobile or business phones, email address, text messages and more. You pick where, you pick how!

 The Marion County Special Needs Program is for residents who, during periods of evacuation or emergency, require sheltering assistance due to physical impairment, mental impairment, cognitive impairment, or sensory disabilities. 

 The Special Needs Registry is a confidential listing of those needing assistance and is updated on an annual basis through contact with the registered residents.
