Emergency Preparedness The Emergency Preparedness program of Sarpy/Cass Department of Health and Wellness is responsible for identifying all risks that could impact the public health of our communities. In addition, we create, maintain, and practice emergency response plans designed specifically to address the potential disasters. Sarpy/Cass Department of Health and Wellness Emergency Preparedness works closely with many local and federal agencies to help insure the continued well-being of the residents should we face a disaster. Community education is essential to our mission. Through presentations, trainings, and the distribution of information we strive to help every resident, and business, understand our local risks and prepare for them appropriately. Please visit our links below to access more information on specific hazards, creating a plan, and resources to help you become prepared for any emergency. If you are interested in becoming involved in the preparedness of your community/neighborhood we are here to help! Call our Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Brittney Hensley at 402-339-4334.
