The Medina County Health Department (MCHD) is actively involved in Emergency Preparedness Planning for our entire county. Emergency Preparedness Planning encompasses a wide variety of issues. This planning is not only specific to Bioterrorism or Pandemic Influenza, but also prepares us for responding to a wide range of disasters such as: natural disasters, severe weather conditions, environmental emergencies, chemical disasters, disease outbreaks, or mass casualties. The following information is to assist you with preparing for any event, whether natural or man-made. These websites and tip sheets will enable you to ensure that you and your family are taken care of during an event.
