considerations during disaster situations. Emergency Management officials, local home-care agencies, the Public Health Unit, American Red Cross and other service
organizations make up the “Local Special Needs Inter-Agency Committee.” The committee meets throughout the year
to plan and coordinate disaster services to the special needs population. A person with special needs may be any age. Most are identified through their home-care agency. Some contact Emergency
Management directly. A two-page Special Needs Application form (also available in Espanol) must be completely filled out by the person in need or their caretaker, and submitted to Emergency Management. Once received,
it is processed for review by the Lake County Health Department for the monthly Special Needs Review Team meeting. Based on
the information provided on the form, the Medical Director will then make one of the following assignments in the event of
an evacuation: The Special Needs Application form is considered and treated as a confidential medical document and is kept in a locked
file. These records do not fall under public records laws. For more information about special assistance due to physical limitations, call Lake County Emergency Management at (352)
343-9420 or print out the Special Needs Application form. Complete the form then send it to the following address or fax it to (352) 343-9728. Lake County Emergency Management **Applicants must be full or part-time residents of Lake County.** Download the Special Needs Application Below
ICE - 'In Case of Emergency' We all carry our mobile (cell)
phones with names and numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves,
knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our cell phone
but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case
of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6:15 p.m. and you’re driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. What can you do? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. Deep breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.  8-07-07 Lake County Residents (The Plantation at Leesburg)Honored For Saving Neighbors' Lives |
