HEALTH ALERT NETWORK
Our
Department of Health & Human Services is designated as the LINCS
Agency to serve Camden County. This is a statewide program that
fosters interagency collaboration between Public Health and government
officials via the CHAIN.
Camden
County receives funding from the CDC for our Bioterrorism Preparedness
Grant. This enables us to provide LINCS region-wide strategic leadership
and coordination to plan and respond to public health threats and
emergencies, including natural disasters, disease outbreaks and
acts of bioterrorism.
Our
LINCS team consists of our County Health Officer, LINCS Coordinator,
Epidemiologist, Health Educator/Risk Communicator, Partnership Coordinator,
Registered Nurse/MRC Coordinator, State Planner, Information Technology
Specialist and administrative support staff.

include:

In
addition, we will be involved in the assessment of training levels
and the marketing of courses to meet the needs of the county’s
first responders and public health professionals.
