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 state residents. The program supports and enhances the capacity of the state, local health departments/Tribes, and the health care system to prepare for public health threats and emergencies through planning, exercising, responding, and training.
