Following the events of 9/11 and the subsequent anthrax mailings, the Emergency Response Division began working with local agencies to form the Carroll County Disaster Preparedness Group. The Group provides a forum for information exchange, education, coordination of planning efforts, and open dialogue among stakeholders to preserve the health and safety of the citizens of Carroll County.
The Emergency Response Division works with other government agencies and private industry to plan for an integrated response to, and recovery from, an act of bioterrorism or any other public health emergency. Involved agencies regularly participate in disaster training and exercises to ensure a coordinated response to a disaster that would affect Carroll County.
