Vulnerable Persons Registry
A voluntary list of residents who may need extra help in an emergency, so responders know who to check on first.
Who should register
Register yourself, or someone you care for, if during an emergency they might not be able to leave safely without help, or might not get a warning. For example, if they:
- use a wheelchair or walker, or have difficulty with stairs or walking any distance
- rely on oxygen, dialysis or other equipment that needs electricity
- are blind or have low vision, or are deaf or hard of hearing
- live with dementia, a cognitive disability or a serious mental health condition
- have no vehicle and no one nearby to drive them
- live alone and are frail, or are recovering from surgery or illness
Seasonal residents are welcome to register for the months they spend at the lake.
How it works
- Fill in the form below. Print it and fill it in by hand, or type into it on screen and then print it.
- Return it to your Summer Village office in person or by mail. Office addresses and phone numbers are on the contact page. Please don't email the form, because email isn't a secure way to send personal information.
- During an emergency, the agency gives the relevant entries to the emergency responders working in the affected area, so they can check on registered people, help them evacuate, or make sure they got the warning.
- Once a year, the office will contact you to confirm your details are still correct. Tell your office if anything changes, or if you want to be removed from the registry.
In a fast-moving emergency, responders may not be able to reach everyone in time. Registering does not replace your own plan. Keep a 72-hour kit, set up a support network of people who will check on you, and leave early, during the evacuation alert stage, if you need extra time. In an emergency, always call 9-1-1.
Your privacy
Your information is used only for emergency planning and response. It is shared only with emergency responders and emergency social services, and only when there is an emergency or an exercise. It is stored securely by your Summer Village office, and is not used for any other purpose. You can ask to see, correct or remove your information at any time.
The form asks what help you would need, not for medical diagnoses. Only tell us what responders need to know to help you.
