Project Special Response

There is no substitute for personal preparation. In a disaster, government and other agencies may not be able to meet your needs. It is important for all residents to make individual plans and preparations for their care and safety in an emergency.

Anderson County Emergency Services has developed a special program to assist residents of all ages with special needs.

This program, "Project Special Response," is designed to help those with specific needs in the event of an emergency.

Part of the program includes a Special Needs Emergency Registry for residents with disabilities, chronic conditions, and other healthcare needs such as: use of oxygen, respirator/ventilator, dialysis, pacemaker, defibrillator, or insulin-dependent; use of a wheelchair, walker/cane, prosthesis, or an assistive animal; visually impaired, legally blind, hard of hearing, deaf, speech impaired, non-verbal, or cognitively/developmentally delayed. Please note, this registry only works with LAND LINE phones, and does not work with Cell Phones or many VoIP (Voice over IP) phones.
