The
City of Vineland is constantly striving to be as well prepared
as possible should the unthinkable occur.
What is the County Working On?
In
addition to the work of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and
the City of Vineland Department of Health, The Cumberland County
Health Department, has created the Cumberland and Salem County
Public Health Emergency Preparedness Task Force.
Emergency
Preparedness Task Force consists of representatives of major medical,
public health, law enforcement and emergency rescue agencies that
have primary responsibility for responding to a critical public
health emergency. The task force’s responsibilities include
developing a comprehensive and realistic response plan that is
carefully and thought out and tested. The task force will identify
gaps in the local emergency response system and work to ensure
those gaps are closed.
