None of us knows when the next emergency will occur or what it will be. We can work together to prepare ourselves to respond quickly and effectively.

​

CHD plans for and responds to both man made and natural disasters within the towns of Colchester, East Haddam, East Hampton, Hebron, Marlborough and Portland.

 

Our plans address a general response to any emergency that might affect the health of our residents as well as plans for mass distribution of vaccines or medications like antibiotics in the event of a bioterrorism attack or a pandemic.

 

We work closely with local, state and federal partners to assure a comprehensive response to any possible emergency including acts of terrorism, natural disasters, disease outbreaks and more.
