INTRODUCTION
The Northeast Health District’s Bioterrorism and
Emergency Preparedness Program was formed in November 2002. Our goal is to
help health departments in the 10-county Athens area prepare for and respond
to potential bioterrorism incidents and other public health emergencies,
such as natural disasters and disease outbreaks. We train public health
employees and will coordinate the public health response in the event of an
emergency. We have also partnered with local public safety, hospital, and
other officials to plan a community-wide response to potential emergencies. |
