CHICAGO – Disastrous events in your community—like a tornado, long power outage, or disease outbreak—can strain health care resources. Knowing what to expect and having a plan can help you and your community get through it. The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) are cosponsoring a series of community engagement meetings around the state entitled “Healthcare in Disaster Situations: Your Voice Matters.” Join us for an open discussion on how to prioritize health care resources during a disaster.

Your input will be used to help Illinois develop a health care plan for disasters.
