Public Health Emergency Preparedness
Prepare, Plan, Stay Informed
Wisconsin’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness program focuses on preparing
for and responding to events that pose a substantial risk to the health of
Wisconsin's residents. The program supports and enhances the capacity of
the state, local public health departments/Tribes, and the healthcare
system to prepare for public health threats and emergencies through
planning, exercising, responding, and training.
