As of Sept. 30, The Kings County Regional Emergency Management Organization (Kings REMO) now manages a Vulnerable Persons Registry (VPR).
Kings REMO would like to recognize the important efforts of the Sault Ste Marie Innovation Centre as a contributing partner in the development of the VPR.
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. Anyone who would like to register with the Kings REMO’s VPR, can do so by completing the online form available at www.KingsREMO.ca or by obtaining a printed copy of the VPR registration form through any of the four municipal offices: Municipality of Kings, Towns of Berwick, Kentville and Wolfville. Any information provided will only be used for the VPR in order to help first responders improve resident safety. Phoning 911 in an emergency is still necessary and residents are responsible for having an emergency plan in place in order to be prepared to remain safe for
at least three days.
Who should register for the Kings REMO VPR? Any Kings County resident without 24-hour support, who experiences severe difficulty with any of the following:
• Mobility
• Vision
• Hearing
• Developmental
• Cognitive
• Mental health
• Any Kings County resident living at home who requires electricity for life-sustaining equipment such as life support, oxygen, dialysis, etc.
By registering with the Kings REMO VPR, emergency response teams will have access to the
locations of those who may need unique assistance during an evacuation. Additional information
on the Kings REMO’s VPR is available on the Kings REMO website at www.KingsREMO.ca or by
contacting the Kings County VPR coordinator at [email protected].
