NJ Register Ready

NJ Register Ready was created to help people with disabilities in times of emergency.

The information provided through the registry is shared with emergency response agencies so that responders will be better equipped to serve registrants in the event of an emergency or evacuation in their area.

Kelly Boyd has been a supporter of Register Ready since its inception and now oversees the registry in her position as Access and Functional Needs Planner for the State of New Jersey Office of Emergency Management. To keep this registry current, emergency managers make calls to those who are registered and update information. However, in recent years, another layer of outreach has been utilized.

Centers For Independent Living have become crucial in keeping the registry updated. Kelly was connected with CIL directors through the NJ Statewide Independent Living Council. ACIL Director, Donald Campbell was instrumental in supporting this effort and was asked to share ACIL's best practices with other CIL's who are willing to help. "I am so grateful for the ACIL staff who have been trained to make these important calls and thrilled that it has been a beneficial partnership to connect people with additional resources," Kelly explained.
