What is the Assistance Program
Citizens of St. Johns County requiring assistance to evacuate to a shelter during an emergency situation should complete an Evacuation Assistance Request Form.
There are 3 levels of Evacuation Assistance Available.
- Someone who requires transportation only to one of our General Shelters.
- Someone who has a special medical need that requires a Special Medical Needs Shelter, but does not require transportation assistance.
- Someone who has a special medical need that requires a Special Medical Needs Shelter, as well as requiring transportation assistance.
You must meet a certain medical criteria to be assigned to a Special Medical Needs Shelter. Special Medical Needs Shelters are for people with medical needs that can't be met in a General Shelter. Please review the information regarding what is and what is not available at a Special Needs Shelter.
Registering on this website is not a guarantee that emergency officials will be able to assist you in an emergency.
