A public health emergency is any event or situation demanding immediate action on the part of the public health system in order to prevent disease and injury or maintain the public’s health. Emergencies can be natural or man-made. We work closely with the Sandusky County Emergency Management Agency, hospitals, law enforcement, and other local agencies to be prepared for a health emergency or disaster and to ensure the safety of our residents.

​

The Sandusky County Health Department regularly participates in emergency response training and exercises, often with other health departments in Northwest Ohio, to ensure preparedness and a timely response for any event.
