Public Health Preparedness 

We team with community partners to protect and prepare the public health care system for possible natural or man-made disasters and respond to all-hazard emergencies. Our partners include hospitals, emergency management, law enforcement, fire/rescue, EMS and other state, local, and federal operations. We deploy personnel and resources to respond before, during and after emergencies, disasters, or events.
