How to Register for Clay County Special Medical Needs Sheltering
Register before an emergency when skilled nursing, daily-living help, or electricity-dependent medical equipment may require extra assistance.
Start here
Call Clay County Emergency Management at 904-529-2770 for the Special Medical Needs Registry form. Registration is reviewed for shelter eligibility and does not guarantee transportation or placement; a caregiver must remain with the registrant at the shelter.
