Jefferson County Involvement
Jefferson County has had to become more aware of and better prepared
for disasters, mass terrorism response, and pandemics. We have to
prepare for a possible attack by WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction),
including Biological, Chemical, Radiological, and Nuclear weapons,
natural disasters (storms, floods, drought and power outages) and large
communicable disease outbreaks and pandemics. On the local level, Jefferson County Health Department has been directed
by the West Virginia State Health Department to plan for response to
biological attacks (bioterrorism), and to integrate the response with that
of local Office of Emergency Services (OES), Law Enforcement, Emergency
Medical Services (EMS), and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)and
surrounding states and jurisdictions.
A Tri-County Medical Reserve Corps is being formed, composed primarily of
medically trained people in our area. Any interested persons with skills
in the medical field would be welcome to participate in this process. Please
contact Berkeley County Health Department at (304)264-5131 or go online
www.bchealthdept.org for a volunteer information form. A plan exists to procure
medications and antidotes to be used to protect and treat citizens against various
types of bioterrorism agents and disease outbreaks. The local Health Department
will play a significant role should such response become necessary. |
