Health Alert Network (HAN)
The Health Alert Network (HAN) is a critical communication system that ensures vital, time-sensitive public health information reaches our community quickly. Coordinated at the federal level by the CDC and statewide by the Montana DPHHS, HAN delivers urgent updates regarding disease outbreaks, environmental hazards, and emergency preparedness. This network serves as an information lifeline, ensuring that local health officials, medical providers, and laboratories in Lincoln County have immediate access to the vetted guidance they need to respond to emerging health crises. To receive email alerts when new advisories are distributed, please contact us.
