When a public health emergency happens, YOUR help can make a difference.

Think about this:

  • If there is an anthrax release, hundreds of health professionals would be needed to dispense antibiotics.
  • If there is an influenza pandemic, several hundred health professionals would be needed every day to monitor, by phone, thousands of quarantined residents.
  • In the case of smallpox, thousands of health professionals would be needed to vaccinate everyone in the county in 72 hours.
