Public Health Week – Day 5: Emergency Preparedness
Did you know that in addition to . . .
- Inspecting restaurants
- Providing healthcare services at our centers
- Educating families on healthy eating and encouraging exercise
- Investigating diseases
The Health Department also prepares for and responds to various forms of disaster that affect the community’s health? We work closely with state and local first responders, FEMA, GEMA and other emergency agencies to protect the health of our community.
We also provide information and education on how to be prepared for an emergency. Through our website, Twitter and Facebook we post tips and links to help you and your family stay healthy and safe during emergency situations.
We have information that includes setting up an Emergency Kit for your home and having a Family Emergency Plan. [Tweet this!]
And we know it may be difficult to talk with your children about the possibility of something “bad” happening. So we have provided a link to information from Sesame Workshop who, along with its project partners, created Let’s Get Ready! Planning Together for Emergencies. Featuring beloved characters from Sesame Street, this website helps children learn how to be prepared in an emergency situation.
