NYC: Coordination with Healthcare Systems to Save Lives

In a disaster, the NYC Department of Health coordinates with the healthcare system and city partners to protect the health of New Yorkers. Watch how preparedness works 24/7/365 to protect the health, safety, and security of Americans.

The NYC Department of Health works with many partners to ensure everyone stays safe, from infectious disease outbreaks, to natural disasters, to terrorist attacks.

"Writing a plan is never enough. It doesn't mean anything until you actually try it out. We [NYC Department of Health] are exercising many different components of the plan to see how they all fit together."

~Mordy Goldfeder, Director - Health and Medical Planning, NYC Emergency Management
