The Pocahontas County Health Department has been directed by the West Virginia State Health Department to plan for response to all hazards, and to integrate the response with that of local Office of Emergency Services (OES), Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).
The Pocahontas County Medical Volunteer Corps (PCMVC) has been established by the Pocahontas County Health Department to help coordinate human resources that may be used during a public health emergency. The PCMVC is currently working with local emergency planners, existing emergency response agencies, and community partners to establish, coordinate, and train volunteers so we can better respond to widespread disasters and improve community health education.
