Tornado Emergency Preparedness:
Expecting The Unexpected

Johnson County Public Health (JCPH), along with other Johnson County agencies, has been strengthening its readiness to respond to public health emergencies. These types of emergencies could result from naturally occurring events, such as floods, tornadoes or infectious diseases, or they could result from man-made disasters, such as the intentional release of biological agents.

Your public health department is involved in the following activities throughout the year to assist in making you and your family members’ lives healthier:
   • Investigating cases of infectious diseases;
   • Preventing and controlling infectious diseases; and
   • Providing environmental health inspections or assessment services.
