Prepare for Disease Outbreaks

As part of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan, Dakota County has identified the types of hazards that are most likely to occur in the area.

Make an emergency plan

One of the most important steps you can take in preparing for emergencies is to develop a family emergency plan. Your family may not be together when emergencies happen, so it is important for all family members to understand the plan. 

Visit the Ready.gov website for checklists and considerations when creating a plan for your family.
