Public Health Preparedness Materials
Over the last year, the Kentucky Department for Public Health has produced several public health preparedness materials, including a brochure, community information pocket card and public health video. The goal of these materials is to increase awareness of and educate Kentuckians about the work of public health at the state and local level to increase community- and state-level preparedness to respond to disasters, as well as to share information on how individual Kentuckians can be more prepared or take advantage of opportunities to volunteer.
The materials are downloadable from our Web site. If you require additional copies, please email Kendra Steele.

It also contains information on disaster-related Web sites, a section on bioterrorism, information for those individuals with special needs such as the deaf and hard of hearing, the blind and rural residents.
