LCHD staff participate in state and local emergency planning committees including: Licking County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), Central Ohio Regional Public Health Planning Committee, Medical Reserve Corps and the Central Ohio Regional Medial Response System. We also test our emergency response plans annually. We have participated in Local, Multi-County, and Regional exercises covering chemical attacks, bio-terrorism, and disease outbreaks.
