"Times of calm are the best moments to get prepared for potential future emergencies.

NET Health encourages everyone to enroll into the free State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry, also known as the S.T.E.A.R. Registry.

If someone at your residence has limited mobility, is dependent on prescriptions, or has communication barriers that require an interpreter, the STEAR program allows you to share vital information with First Responders before they arrive to your home and the S.T.E.A.R. Program makes the evacuation process easier for everyone involved.

Registration into the STEAR registry DOES NOT guarantee that you will receive a specific service during an emergency. Available services will vary by community.
