Emergency Preparedness Office

Mission

In partnership with the healthcare community, our mission is to safeguard and promote the health and welfare of Plumas County residents and visitors by reducing the health & medical impacts of naturally occurring or man-made disasters. Program activities include the Statewide Medical and Health Exercise, which is designed to help healthcare, public health agencies, and their partners exercise their response to unusual health events that may challenge their facilities, and personnel, and impact the communities they serve. Free flu clinics are offered throughout the county and in schools. The Plumas County Health Care Coalition (HCC) addresses issues that affect emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The Regional Healthcare Coalition (HCC) addresses issues that affect emergency preparedness, response, and recovery within a three-county collaborative; Lassen, Plumas, and Sierra. EPO also oversees the Emergency Medical Care Committee.
