Public Health, Preparedness and Response Program

Hood River County Health Department develops plans and procedures to prepare for emergencies.  This collaborative effort includes active participation by many community groups. We place additional emphasis on serving our most vulnerable community members from public health threats.

Specifically, we prepare for emergencies by examining the best ways to prevent, mitigate, respond, and recover from local hazards that impact the health of people in our jurisdiction.  We develop, revise, exercise our plans based on the 15 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Capabilities.

The Oregon State Health Authority provides support for this program.  More information is available at: https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/Preparedness/Pages/index.aspx.
