Epidemiological Response Team Contacts - Public Health Region 4/5N

Public Health Emergency Preparedness helps the public prepare for public health threats and emergencies. Focus areas for this program include:

  • Preparedness planning and readiness assessment,
  • Surveillance and epidemiology,
  • Laboratory capacity-biologic agent,
  • Health alert network communications and information technology,
  • Communicating health risks and health information dissemination, and
  • Education and training

There are many plans to prepare for bioterrorism events, infectious disease outbreaks, or any other public health emergencies. We make these plans to make sure that the residents of Region 4/5N are safe and prepared.
