Emergency Preparedness

The Emergency Preparedness Program enables the Health Department to partner with local emergency planners and other agencies throughout the year to plan emergency response activities. In the event of a large- scale emergency, the Health Department may be called upon to provide specific services, such as mass immunizations, medication distribution, assistance with sheltering facilities, etc. The Health Department continually recruits volunteers to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps Unit to provide a pool of medical and non-medical volunteers to assist our communities by participating during public health events, such as preparedness drills, pre-disaster trainings, health fairs, or public health emergencies
