Knowing what to expect during a disaster and the steps to take during an emergency is the key to protecting yourself and your family.  When a disaster strikes you may have only a short time to respond or prepare.  The effects of a disaster can be sudden and devastating. <\/span><\/p>\n

Richland County Health Department collaborates with six counties in the Southeast Region to plan for Public Health emergencies.  The counties include Ransom, Sargent, Trail, Steele, and Cass.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Emergency Preparedness group focuses on planning, training, and conducting training exercises for all public health-related emergencies such as bioterrorism, pandemic flu, and natural disasters.  They also provide educational materials on preparing for emergencies at home and at work.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
