Public Health Emergency Preparedness -
A Model for New Jersey
|

The Hunterdon County Health Division’s emergency preparedness training and planning was labelled ‘a model for public health preparedness in New Jersey,’ by the State Department of Health assessment auditor earlier this month.
County Health Officer Karen DeMarco stated “The County’s Health emergency preparedness operations were approved by the state Health Department auditor, who complimented the robustness of the Division’s plans and called the operation a model for the state.
The approval comes as a result of numerous training exercises, hours of staff training, and after action reports, all designed to protect Hunterdon County residents in the event of a range of public health threats, including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological events.”
