Emergency Preparedness

This office works to prepare for, and respond to, public health threats and emergencies. The Public Health Emergency Preparedness program is responsible for planning and coordinating all-hazards response activities across Mohave County.

Our Emergency Response Team plans and implements programs to rapidly detect, investigate and control a number of threats that may endanger the health of the public. These threats include emerging infectious diseases, disease outbreaks, pandemics, chemical or radiological exposures, and bioterrorism.

We work with local health care organizations, emergency management and public safety to build an integrated emergency response system to protect all residents and visitors to Mohave County. Our capacity to respond to emergencies is improved by insuring coordination among tribes, local, state, and federal agencies, including health care partners, before, during and after public health events. The office is located in Kingman.

Medical Reserve Corps

Emergency Preparedness is looking for Volunteers!

Our Mohave County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) unit is comprised of teams of volunteers which are community-based. These MRC teams function as a way to locally organize and utilize these volunteers who want to donate their time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies and promote healthy living throughout the year.  MRC volunteers supplement existing emergency and public health resources.
