POD Emergency Training


In Disasters Communities Unite

Are you willing to serve your community in the event of an emergency? 
Hamilton County Public Health is looking for volunteers to assist with their community’s Point of Dispensing (POD) in the event of a public health emergency.

 A POD is a location where medications or vaccines will be distributed to residents in Hamilton County. It will be opened if many people within our community have been exposed to an infection that may make them sick and disease from that infection can be prevented by antibiotics or a vaccine. In order to reduce travel, wait time and provide a familiar location Hamilton County will have many community-level PODs.

 We need both Medical and Non Medical Volunteers

 Each community has its own local POD.  So you can help to serve the residents of your own community!
