Focus Areas
An emergency - whether natural or man made - can strike quickly and without warning. Although first responders and relief workers will be on the scene as soon as possible, they may not reach everyone right away. That's why it's important to become informed and educated and to prepare for a disaster before it strikes.
The following guidelines can help you prepare for a possible emergency, including a terrorist event.

What to Do In Case of Emergency or Biological or Chemical Attack
The Department Operations Center (DOC) is the physical location where the Department of Health comes together during an emergency to coordinate response and recovery actions and resources. The DOC is not an incident command post; rather, it is the operations center where coordination and management decisions are facilitated.
