The Kane
County Health Department works daily to protect the well being
of the public. Programs are in place to protect the air we
breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. When diseases
appear in the community, the health department takes steps to
reduce illness and death among the citizens. In the event of a
bioterror attack or a naturally occurring outbreak of an
infectious disease, the health department can activate plans to
respond quickly and effectively.
The health department works with a wide range of community
partners to keep Kane County safe. These partners represent the
medical community, law enforcement, fire departments, schools,
emergency management agencies and many other agencies on the
local, state and federal level.
Please look over the information found on this website
concerning emergency preparedness. We hope that many of your
questions will be answered by the information and links we have
put together. |
