New Medical Needs Registration Process
The Medical Needs Registry is an emergency preparedness tool that will be used by emergency managers to communicate with people who have medical needs for emergency preparedness planning purposes.
The Medical Needs Registry process has changed for the City of Newport News and is now coordinated on a regional level through the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, (HRPDC). Anyone who is currently registered with the City of Newport News should log-in to the HRPDC website to enter their information into the new system.
Click here to enter your registration with the Hampton Roads Medical Needs Registry. After April 29, 2011, all information that was gathered through the old registration method will no longer be utilized.
The Medical Needs Registry is an emergency preparedness tool that will be used by emergency managers to communicate with people who have medical needs for emergency preparedness planning purposes. This information is also integrated into the City's 9-1-1 Dispatch system so that if there is an emergency at your residence, first responders have additional information that can assist them.
There is never a guarantee of immediate assistance during an emergency, so be prepared to be self-sufficient for three or more days. To visit the Hampton Roads Medical needs website, go to www.hrspecialneeds.org.
