The Special Needs Registry is maintained by the Linn County Emergency Management Agency. Linn County Residents who have a disability or special need and would require help to evacuate in an emergency, can enroll on the Linn County Special Needs Registry. You may also enroll those you care about who could benefit from the registry if they are Linn County Residents.
