Functional Needs

When a Community Emergency Response is necessary there are often residents that require added assistance.  When this is necessary it is important for Emergency Responders to know who those people are.  The linked FUNCTIONAL NEEDS FORM is a tool for Lancaster's First Responders to use in identifying those individuals and being prepared to respond to them.  If you or someone you know may have physical, mental or other special issues that require additional measures (equipment, attention, etc.) please fill out the functional needs form linked previously and submit to either the Lancaster EMD at 25 Main Street, Lancaster NH or planning@lancasternh.org.  All information will be held in the strictest of confidence and used only when necessary. ​

Volunteer Registration for Disaster/Emergency Response

Public Safety or Health emergencies often require assistance from trained individuals.  This VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION FORM provides the Town of Lancaster's Emergency Response Team with information to identify those individuals who have special abilities or resources to mitigate any issue.  If you are willing to assist in the case of an emergency I encourage you to completer the linked form above and submit it to the Lancaster EMD at 25 Main Street, Lancaster NH or planning@lancasternh.org.
