Each county has a local Emergency Manager who is responsible for assessing and measuring a local jurisdiction's capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergency and disaster events. At each of the local public health departments, there is a full-time Emergency Preparedness Coordinator who manages the CDC cooperative agreement activities for their jurisdiction.
