Health Emergency Response Teams

Health Emergency Response Teams (HERTs) are specialized groups of trained healthcare professionals who quickly mobilize to respond to crises such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or other emergencies. They provide immediate medical care, conduct assessments, and support public health efforts to contain and manage the situation. HERTs coordinate with local agencies to deliver efficient, effective responses, ensuring communities receive the necessary care and resources during critical times. Their goal is to save lives, reduce injury, and stabilize communities affected by emergencies.
