It's a New Day in Public Health.
The Florida Department of Health works to protect, promote, and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts.
REGISTER FOR SPECIAL NEEDS SHELTER
| Sep 05 - Sep 09, 2017 8:00 PM - 5:00 PM |
With Hurricane Irma approaching, adults and children with special medical needs in Broward County can register to be housed in a Special Needs Shelter -- if any are activated -- by calling the Florida Department of Health in Broward at 954-213-0705.
Calls for registrations are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Department is responsible for the medical management and staffing of Special Needs Shelters, if activated. A Special Needs Shelter (SpNS) is a place to go when there is no other sheltering option for people who cannot safely remain in their home. Special Needs Shelters are designed to meet the needs of persons who require assistance that exceeds services provided at a general population shelter. Special Needs Shelters are intended to provide, to the extent possible under emergency conditions, an environment that can sustain an individual's level of health.
