To support inclusive emergency preparedness, a Vulnerable Persons Registry (VPR) is available to all qualifying residents.
The VPR is a free, voluntary and confidential service aimed at improving the safety of residents living at home who would be at greater risk during emergencies. The VPR provides key information to local emergency services about vulnerable people within the region during local large-scale emergencies.
Availability
The VPR is available to residents within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo who experience severe difficulty with any of the following:
- Mobility, vision or hearing.
- Developmental/intellectual, cognitive, or mental health.
- Residents who require electricity for life-sustaining equipment such as life support, oxygen, dialysis, etc.
Qualifying
Those living with continuous 24-hour assistance, who are not left unassisted for periods of time, do not qualify for the VPR.
- Unsure if you should register? We encourage you to contact the VPR Coordinator through Pulse at 780-743-7000.
