A Nationally Accredited Health Department Since 2017

During emergencies, certain situations can arise that require individuals to seek more assistance than usual. For instance, falling objects can obstruct exit routes and power outages may disable elevators, medical devices, and medication refrigeration.

Winnebago County Health Department has launched the Registry for Individuals with Disabilities who may need additional support during an emergency and who live independently (not in long term care, skilled nursing, or a residential treatment facility). 

This registry provides a way for residents to share information securely with WCHD so that together we can better prepare for and respond to an emergency.
