DISASTER
PREPAREDNESS
As a result of the tragic events of
September 11, 2001, our nation has had to become more aware of and be
better prepared for mass terrorism response. We have to prepare for a
possible attack by WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction), including

be prepared for any type of Natural Disaster. On the local level, the
Mineral County Health Department has been directed by the West Virginia

integrate the response with that of the Mineral County Office of Emergency

Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Local Emergency

Health Department wants to give you the tools to be prepared in case an
emergency strikes. Preparedness is the key and here is a list of useful
