Strengthening Public Health Emergency Preparedness

Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) is devoted to ensuring you and your family are safe before, during and after an emergency or disaster. By taking a stance on inclusion, WCCHD strives to strengthen emergency preparedness planning to provide information for all individuals within Williamson County, especially those with a disability. It is important that individuals with a disability (seen or unseen) are included in planning efforts so we, WCCHD, can ensure that everyone is being reached if or when an emergency or disaster strikes.
