What is the Region IV Public Health Program?
The Clark County Public Health Preparedness Unit leads the public health preparedness efforts in Clark County, Cowlitz County, Skamania County, and Wahkiakum County through the Region IV Public Health Program. Clark County Public Health continuously works to improve its capacity to respond to public health emergencies by enhancing its agency response as well as its ability to work with partner agencies and elected officials. Within Clark County Public Health the Emergency Preparedness and Response Unit takes the lead in these efforts, and works closely with the Public Health Director, the Health Officer, Environmental Health Units, The Communicable Disease Unit, and other programs and organizations. Additionally, Clark County Public Health partners with Fire Departments, Law Enforcement Agencies, Emergency Management Agencies, Emergency Medical Services, Hospitals, and others to better prepare our communities for all types of emergencies.
