Glynn-Brunswick 911 launches ‘Logan’s List’ to help first responders identify people with special needs

11 minutes ago–

The goal of the voluntary database, known as Logan’s List, is to alert first responders when there are people in a home with special needs who may have difficulty communicating with police, fire or EMS personnel.“We are very excited to offer this program to our citizens to enhance the overall well-being of those with special needs,” said Cara Richardson, director of Glynn-Brunswick 911.

Logan’s List was signed into law in May 2021 by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and was inspired by a Georgia teenager with autism and other special needs, according to a Glynn County spokesperson. The database will help first responders identify the best way to communicate with a person who might be non-verbal or if there are things that may upset a person such as noises and lights.Marcela joined News4JAX in 2023.
