Video Summary

Module 5 explains the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEER), a free, voluntary database for disaster situations. While registration doesn’t guarantee specific services, it aids individuals with disabilities, limited mobility, communication barriers, or those needing medical or transportation assistance. Essential information needed includes the registrant's name, address, phone number, and primary language, with optional details like emergency contacts, caregiver info, and medical needs. Registration is available online on the STEER website or through local 211 services. The next session will cover emergency preparedness kits.
