Carson City Health Mass Dispensing Exercise
What would you do if there was a public health emergency here in Carson City? With an upcoming Mass Dispensing Exercise, Carson City Health and Human Services hopes to take a step towards answering that question.
On Thursday, May 12 from 4 to 6 p.m., the Health Department plans to practice how we would distribute medications that would be needed by community members in the event of a health emergency, like an anthrax scare. Since this is not a real health emergency, no actual medications will be given out. Instead, community members who participate will be given a gift card as a thank you for taking time to help our community practice this important drill.
How Can I Participate?
What: Emergency Preparedness Practice Drill
Where: Carson City Senior Center
911 Beverly Drive, Carson City
When: Thursday, May 12, 2011, 4-6 p.m.
Who: Head-of-Household (or other adult family member)
Download the Screening Form at www.gethealthycarsoncity.org or pick up a form at the event.
The upcoming exercise is made possible through cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Nevada State Health Division. The support and participation of community members allows plans to be made and improved so that our community is as safe and healthy as it can be.
