Department of Health and Human Services All-Hazards Plan

This U.S. Department of Health and Human Services emergency operations plan describes coordinated departmental management of response to and recovery from disasters and public health emergencies (PHE) in response to requests for assistance or when the situation requires federal emergency human services or social services capabilities. It provides an all-discipline, all-hazards approach to establish a comprehensive framework for coordinated federal public health, medical, human services, and social services assistance to support STT governments’ response activities directed at saving and sustaining lives and protecting or restoring human health in response to and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters or PHE.
