EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Plan. Prepare. Respond.
Dearborn County Health Department Emergency Preparedness assists entities, Healthcare Providers, and Dearborn County residents to respond to & recover from all hazard incidents by identifying, developing, refining then executing plans in a timely manner.
In Dearborn County Health Department, we have been steadily working to increase our capacity to respond to emergencies by strengthening on-going partnerships and creating new ones. The Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is administered to the 93 local health departments throughout Indiana. A developed 15 Public Health Preparedness Capabilities list is used to assist state & local public health partners in identifying gaps in preparedness, determining the specific jurisdictional priorities, and developing plans for building/sustaining capabilities.
If you would like to volunteer, to make this community a safer place in a time of an emergency, we can use your help and/or expertise in assisting, the following links offer fill-in forms:
