Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)

Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP)

Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) is tasked with responding to a range of public health threats—including infectious diseases; natural disasters; and biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological events. Our goal is to build a more resilient community that is prepared to deal with and rapidly recover from threats and emergencies that affect the health of the public.

A public health emergency exists when there is a potential to overwhelm the routine community capabilities established to address them.
