Please sign up if this applies to you, and help spread the word!

Morgan County is proud to begin a beta testing of a Special Needs Registry in the community of Wiggins. The purpose of the Special Needs Registry is to provide our first responders pertinent information regarding a community member with special needs whether they are young or an adult.

This information is going to be provided through the CAD system the first responders already utilize on a daily basis. Basic information such as where they live, a picture, and emergency contact information will be provided. In addition, information such as the specific disability or need, communication information for the individual, behavioral/ safety information, medical, school/program information, and emergency response information. The information will be gathered by paper form or electronically Special Needs Registry Form .

Each family will also be provided stickers for their homes and cars to alert first responders of a registrant that occupies that dwelling or is a passenger of that vehicle.

As a community we are proud to open up new ways to better serve all that reside in Morgan County and allow first responders pertinent information to assist them on calls.
