The Meigs County Health Department Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Division works to develop plans to prevent, respond to, and recover from emergency situations. Partnerships have been developed with other county agencies that have been tasked with the responsibility of dealing with emergencies. These partners share expertise, equipment, and manpower in the mitigation of emergencies. Plans have been developed and are continually reviewed and updated that guide actions and responses to emergencies. Contact Shawn Cunningham at 740-992-6626 or shawn.cunningham@meigs-health.com for more information.
The Meigs County PHEP program is also tasked with maintaining two trailers which can be deployed during emergencies. The first trailer can be used as a mobile shot clinic, exam/first aid station, or command center. The second trailer holds a Blu-Med tent that is used as a 10 bed mobile hospital.
