Emergency Preparedness and Response

Planning Activities   |   Preparing for an Emergency

Although we cannot know when the next emergency will occur or what it will be, we can work together to better prepare ourselves for dealing with an emergency and responding effectively.

Ledge Light Health District works together with other agencies to plan local responses to public health emergencies. Each of us can do our part to prepare our homes and businesses for situations. And opportunities exist for you to help the District in our emergency response efforts.

Interested in volunteering?  Learn more about our Medical Reserve Corps by clicking on the blue "Volunteer" tab to the left or by clicking here.

If you would like more information, please contact Monica Farina, Public Health Preparedness Coordinator.
