Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program
Wayne County Public Health (WCPH) plans for disasters such as disease outbreaks, natural disasters, man-made disasters and many more community hazards/ emergencies. Our department assists with these situations in a variety of ways such as providing health information, mitigation and hosting events (vaccine, testing, supply handout, etc.).
WCPH maintains and practices our response plans regularly to a variety of hazards and emergency situations that could affect our county. Our department is also a part of Finger Lakes Public Health Alliance (FLPHA), which allows public health workers from an unaffected county may provide mutual aid to another county in need of assistance.
The Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program is coordinated by:
