Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response

Due to its dense population, NYC faces various natural and man-made disaster risks. For over a decade, DCF has been partnering with OEPR to bolster the city's resilience against public health emergencies. This includes creating a number of public health outreach materials and documenting multi-agency antiterrorism exercises and drills, developing recruitment pieces and supporting efforts to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergencies.
