The Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) is partnership of the public health and safety communities in central Kentucky.
Why is the MMRS important?
During disasters, government agencies, businesses, and the public must work together in order to save lives and protect property and the environment. This is especially true during those that threaten public health, such as terrorism, epidemics, etc. While these events aren’t likely to happen, there is always a possibility that they could. That is why DEEM is joining area hospitals, the Health Department, Police, Fire, and other major health and medical providers in Fayette County to create the MMRS.
What does the MMRS do?
The MMRS is an ongoing effort by the public health and safety community in Fayette County to plan for serious health and medical catastrophes, to develop systems for coordinating and providing critical care where it’s needed, and to purchase medicine and equipment.
