- Indiana has been divided into 10 Preparedness Districts in order to facilitate regional planning among counties.
- Bartholomew County lies within District 8, which also includes Brown, Jackson, Monroe, Lawrence, Orange, and Washington Counties.
- Written plans will guide our response to an intentional or naturally occurring public health emergency and coordinate activities among counties within the District.
- Currently, Bartholomew County is developing plans for mass prophylaxis, receipt of emergency supplies and pandemic influenza preparedness.
