LBPHD’s Emergency Preparedness Program is intended to play a key role in preparing our communities for disasters, responding to disasters/emergencies, and lending support though the recovery process. A public health emergency can be anything from a pandemic/disease outbreak, to a terrorist act, or a natural disaster like a flood, wildfire, or tornado.

LBPHD works with local government, emergency management, hospitals, nursing facilities and other community partners throughout our 9 county district to plan/prepare so we can successfully respond to all types of disasters throughout our district.

West Nile virus (WNV) is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. It is most commonly spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Cases of WNV occur during mosquito season, which starts in the summer and continues through fall. There are no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat WNV in people. Fortunately, most people infected with WNV do not feel sick. About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness.
