Emergency Preparedness: Prepare, Respond, Recover
September is National Preparedness Month , which is a nationwide campaign to promote emergency preparedness and encourage volunteerism. Regardless of the type of emergency, it is important to make sure that you, your family, your workplace, and
community are prepared.
The NYC Department
of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has recently revamped its Emergency
Preparedness Website . You will find information for the general
public , healthcare
providers , community
organizations , and public
health preparedness planners , including resources to help providers and
hospitals train
for disasters and plan for emergencies.
Our Medical Reserve
Corps (MRC), with almost 6,000 volunteers, welcomes a variety of health
professionals who want to train
and prepare to volunteer their services in an emergency. If you are a
healthcare professional, you can sign up here !
