Public Health Emergency Management

The Public Health Unit works with the NSW Ministry of Health and partner agencies to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from emergencies and major incidents with public health implications. Effective planning and preparation can reduce the impact on people's health from many types of emergencies including:

  • Natural disasters and severe weather
  • Infectious diseases/food safety threats
  • Chemical and radiation emergencies.
