Response Plan for Disasters, Public Health Emergencies, and Pandemics

1.0 Front Matter
1.2 Promulgation Statement

"Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster."
- Quentin Crisp (English author 1908-1999)

The St Clair County Health Center (SCCHC), in conjunction with local governmental officials and cooperating private and volunteer organizations, has developed a Response Plan for Disasters, Public Health Emergencies, and Pandemics that will enhance its emergency response capability.  This document is the result of that effort. 

This plan, when used properly and updated annually, can assist the SCCHC in accomplishing one of its primary responsibilities - protecting the lives and property of citizens. The planning and response activities are aimed at prevention, minimizing health, social and economic impacts using education and communications, vaccination, prophylaxis, isolation and quarantine, and closure of public facilities.

This plan and its provisions will become official when it has been signed and dated below by the concurring officials.
