Dear East Petersburg Borough Residents,

We are pleased to introduce the East Petersburg Borough Special Needs Registry, a voluntary program designed to enhance the safety and well-being of residents during emergencies.

This registry allows individuals or their caregivers to provide critical information to local emergency personnel about medical conditions, mobility limitations, communication challenges, or other special circumstances that could impact emergency response. By enrolling in this confidential registry, you help our first responders to better plan for and respond to the needs of our community during disasters or other emergencies.

A few highlights of note:

  • Participation is entirely voluntary and free of charge.
  • Information is kept strictly confidential and only accessed by the fire department during an emergency.
  • Residents can update or remove their information at any time by using an opt-out form on the East Petersburg Borough Website or a paper form at the Borough Office.

Registration does not guarantee rescue, evacuation, or emergency services during a disaster. The registry is a tool to support planning efforts. All residents, whether enrolled in the registry or not, should continue to maintain a personal emergency plan, secure necessary supplies, and identify alternate sources of support.

Registration forms are available virtually on the East Petersburg Borough website or in print at the East Petersburg Borough Office.

Thank you for helping us build a more resilient community!

Sincerely,
Violet DeStefano
Emergency Management Coordinator
East Petersburg Borough, Pennsylvania, 17520
