News and Updates
Share Your Story
The Flint Registry is a public health project for people impacted by the Flint Water Crisis. Ensuring the Flint community is connected, supported, and counted, the Flint Registry wants to provide space for you to share your voice. Every person and every story is important. This “Share Your Story” form is only a few questions and should take around 5 minutes to complete. Thank you!
Membership Advisory Council
The Flint Registry is making a special group called the Flint Registry Membership Advisory Council. The Membership Advisory Council’s job is to make sure people who are part of the Flint Registry stay involved. This group will also help to talk to members and share the important information we learn. The council can even help make better surveys for the future.
