Vulnerable Persons Registry

The Vulnerable Persons Registry (VPR) is a list of residents of Kimberley who could benefit from extra care and attention during an emergency. This service is free, voluntary and confidential. 
 

Residents of Kimberley might sign up to the VPR if they have:  

  • Limited access to internet or technology
  • Mobility issues
  • Seeing or hearing issues
  • Learning disabilities
  • Mental health issues
  • A need for electricity for medical equipment 
     

If you are in a situation that makes you vulnerable for a limited time, you can still sign up to the VPR. An example might be if you are recovering from an injury or surgery that leaves your mobility limited. 

People who live with 24-hour assistance do not qualify for the VPR.

You will need to provide an address and a phone number to sign up to the VPR.

* I allow the Vulnerable Persons Registry Program of the City of Kimberley to provide the information I included in my Vulnerable Persons Registry (VPR) registration form to local Fire, Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Management for use during emergencies. I know that it is important for me to ensure that the VPR program has accurate and up-to-date information at all times. I understand that I still need to call 9-1-1 in an emergency and I am also responsible for having an emergency plan in place in order to be prepared to remain safe for at least three days. I recognize that the VPR does not guarantee my safety but provides an added safeguard where local emergency service groups will make every effort to increase the possibility of my safety during emergencies. I agree to release the City of Kimberley and its elected officials, employees and agents from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits, loss, damage, costs, charges and expenses (collectively “Claims”) which I may incur, suffer or be put to because VPR is unable to guarantee my safety or otherwise in connection with the VPR. I understand that if I am approved, my information will be available to authorized local emergency service groups. I also understand that I will be notified once my information will be made available to those authorized emergency service groups. I further understand that as part of the program, twelve-month updates are required and the City of Kimberley will contact me to complete an update; however, if unsuccessful the City of Kimberley will remove me from the VPR. I know that I can also request to be removed from the VPR at any time. Only the registrant or legal guardian is legally able to authorize the choice to register.
