911 Disabled Persons Registry

The following legal notice will be place by the County. This allows the County Emergency Services Department to know where disabled persons live, and to be able to better respond in the even of a natural or civil disaster.

But Hartford’s citizens can hardly see these notices since the Official Papers of the County, where these notices are published are only in the North (Whitehall Times) and South (Eagle).

This notice is posted twice a year and may be of interest to Hartford so I will paste it below.
