Montgomery County, PA

 

The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Preparedness is dedicated to all aspects of emergency management.  It is our goal to provide the public with the knowledge to help prepare, respond and recover from natural and manmade disasters.

 

In Montgomery County the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Health have organized a Pandemic Crisis Committee in order to create a plan to respond in the event of an outbreak of a deadly contagious disease.

During an event, such as a pandemic influenza, businesses will play a key role in protecting employees’ health and safety as well as limiting the negative impact to the economy and society. Planning for pandemic influenza is critical. To assist you in your efforts, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed the attached checklist for large businesses. It identifies important, specific activities large businesses can do now to prepare, many of which will also help you in other emergencies. Further information can be found at www.pandemicflu.gov and www.cdc.gov/business.
