Modoc County Public Health has a critical role in Public Health disaster preparedness
and response. We have been preparing for may years to respond to various types of emergencies in our county such as floods,
extreme weather, H1N1, and foodbourne illnesses. Our response efforts include planning, surveillance, communications, and
detection of communicable diseases, training, and education. Modoc County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program works
closely with other county agencies for planning, training, and education. Modoc County's goals during an emergency/disaster
are to:
Prepared: Pre-event planning
Respond: Set objectives,
priorities, public safety and address critical issues.
Recover: Community Mitigation, restore
critical infrastructure, coordinate, and resume operations.
