Atlantic Beach officials may order or recommend an evacuation for reasons that include: Natural disasters, such as a hurricane, fire or flood; man-made incidents, highway accidents; or technological disasters such as hazardous materials release. Medically fragile registration is a voluntary program that provides evacuation assistance and sheltering to residents during such times. Transportation assistance can be provided for individuals in an ordered evacuation area who may not have a means of transport to a shelter, and for those requiring health or medical considerations to the Medically Fragile Shelter.
Who is eligible?
- Atlantic Beach residents requiring transportation to and from a designated emergency shelter.
- Atlantic Beach residents requiring, within the limits of services provided, assistance with mobility, oxygen, routine medication administration, routine health monitoring, etc.
It is important to note that this form should be completed and submitted to ABFD well in advance of impending disasters, and must be completed on an annual basis. If you or your family member are not already on this list for this year, please take the time today to register.
