Presentation on 2-1-1 State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR)
Submitted for:	Laura Govea	Submitted By:	Laura Govea
Department:	Emergency Management

Subject:

Presentation regarding the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) offered through the United Way 2-1-1 system by selecting Option 4 that allows people with access and functional needs and anyone that may require assistance during emergencies to provide their information and details regarding their transportation needs. The registry is confidential and assists local governments with planning for disasters. Although signing up does not guarantee that transportation will be provided, we will do our best to plan adequately. We will be helping people sign up during some of the immunization clinics that the Indigent Health Department offers but we encourage people to sign up via 2-1-1.
