Each year, natural disasters destroy our communities and affect the lives of our families, neighbors, businesses, and communities. Disasters can strike at any time, and some disasters, such as fires, occur every day in the United States.
The Office Public Health Preparedness within DOH-Baker is responsible for planning and responding to any disaster or emergency event that affects the health and medical infrastructure within the county.
The office ensures essential public health services can be delivered throughout disaster events by coordinating with Baker County emergency services agencies; federal, state, and local agencies; local hospitals; and volunteer organizations.
Be prepared
Every family should have an emergency plan in place and an emergency supply kit ready and stocked.
