Emergency Preparedness

The Health Department provides an organized public health intervention to natural or man made emergencies that occur in Calvert County. We work with other government agencies and private industry to plan for an integrated response and recovery from such events.

Citizens can take responsibility to protect themselves and their families by knowing what to do before, during, and after an event.  Readiness steps aren’t difficult. Listed below are links that can help you get prepared.
