Where Not to Park
Where not to Park is a project that was brought to the Commission by Donnie Whittler and Patti Parsons. Donnie is a Professional who owns his own business and happens to have a disability. His van is equipped with a Wheelchair lift so he needs access to Handicapped Parking Spaces that are Van Accessible. Please view this short video to better understand the importance of leaving the Van Accessible parking spots and access areas open to those who have lift vehicles or use wheelchairs.

Community Special Needs Registry
The Division of Emergency Management has a new way to help residents of the community with special needs when a disaster or emergency occurs: a Community Special Needs registry. Residents can now complete a Special Needs Survey form. The form will allow residents to describe any special needs they might have and will provide emergency response personnel quicker access to information about people who might need special assistance during an emergency.
