Welcome!
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WVDHHR)
is the state agency charged with overseeing the health response to disasters
occurring within the borders of West Virginia. Response is undertaken
collaboratively with many partners—local health departments, hospitals and
other health care facilities, physicians and other health care providers, EMS
agencies, Emergency Management agencies, WV Poison Center, etc
.
Within WVDHHR, the WV Bureau for Public Health,
Division of Threat Preparedness facilitates advance planning and
preparation for health disasters. The Division began in 2002
and is supported primarily through federal funding. While the
division works to support and oversee the effort, much of the work
itself is undertaken by hundreds of individuals, organizations, and
agencies located throughout the state.
