TARRANT COUNTY, TX
Public Health Emergency Preparedness
The goal of Tarrant County Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) is to build and strengthen department and community abilities to effectively respond to a range of public health threats, including infectious diseases, natural disasters, biological and chemical events.
PHEP works to build department plans, and develop drills to help us be prepared for appropriate emergency response.
In addition, PHEP offers important information on how residents, businesses and other groups can best prepare for local emergencies.
