The Florida Department of Health in Madison County’s (DOH-Madison) Public Health Preparedness Program coordinates all-hazards planning and preparedness activities to mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover from public health emergencies that threaten the health and safety of our citizens and visitors. Collaboration with Madison County’s Emergency Operations Center and partners ensures organized response to fulfill our mission to promote, protect and improve the health of all people through the delivery of high-quality public health services.
DOH-Madison employs a Public Health Preparedness Planner who serves as the planning and training liaison between the health department and other emergency response agencies. The Preparedness Planner and staff continually work with health, medical and disaster response organizations, and agencies in preparation for a public health emergency.

Every family should have an emergency plan in place and an emergency supply kit ready and stocked.
