Contra Costa Health

On June 12-13, Contra Costa Health and local hospitals tested their emergency plans with a countywide drill. The event simulated a disaster to evaluate our response to sudden surges in emergency patients. Thanks to the collaboration of community organizations, skilled nursing facilities, fire departments, and 100 volunteers, the drill was a huge success! 👏This annual exercise keeps our community safe and prepared. Thanks to everyone who contributed! ❤️ #EmergencyPreparedness

October is #NationalPedestrianSafetyMonth. Join us in making roads safer for all. In 2021, a pedestrian was killed every 71 minutes and injured every 9 minutes in traffic crashes. That’s why the Contra Costa County Vision Zero team is working hard to change these stats. Our message: Slow down for our families. Get there safely. Look out for our banners on buses and at 11 elementary schools. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g_ZTrAJu.
