The state of Texas presents the STEAR program. The STEAR program is a free registry that provides local emergency planners and emergency responders with additional information on the needs in their community. Texas communities use the registry information in different ways.
*Registering yourself in the STEAR registry DOES NOT guarantee that you will receive a specific service during an emergency.
Houstonians with access and functional needs are advised to register with the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) and update their information daily.
The STEAR program is a free registry for Texans of any age that need additional assistance during an emergency event due to access or functional needs or lack of transportation for evacuation. The STEAR registry assists local emergency plannersand responders with information about the needs of individuals in their community.
STEAR is intended for people with access and functional needs such as:
People with limited mobility
People who have sensory disabilities
People who require additional medical assistance during an emergency event
People who require transportation assistance
People who require personal care assistance
The information that is shared through STEAR should be updated regularly every day to ensure information is up-to-date. Last minute registrations prior to a weather event or emergency may not reach local emergency.
