HEPCs are regional coalitions of health care providers, local and state emergency managers and local public health preparedness officials who work together to develop and coordinate emergency preparedness activities. HEPCs are valuable for providers, as you can network with other agencies on emergency preparedness activities, establish contacts with vital state and local partners, participate in workgroups and drills, and more.

Sub-Regional Planning Groups are sessions where all HEPC members participate in quarterly meetings defined by geographic area. The North Country subregion includes the following counties: Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton.

For more information or questions, contact Maureen Casale-Reidy, Public Health Emergency Preparedness Regional Representative, or Brielle Phillips, Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Regional Representative, at (518) 474-2893 or cdregion@health.ny.gov.
