Emergency Preparedness and Management
Overview
MPCA Emergency Preparedness and Management focuses on the resources, training, and technical assistance necessary to allow health centers strengthen their capacity to prepare, respond and recover from an emergency or disaster.
MPCA works to promote collaboration and integration, to ensure that Michigan health centers are represented in statewide, regional and local emergency planning and response.
