Rockdale County Emergency Management was thankful to be a part of the 2026 Measles Outbreak Tabletop Exercise hosted by GNR Public Health .
This exercise provided a great opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and collaborate with surrounding counties, hospitals, and public health departments. Exercises like these help ensure we are prepared to work together and respond effectively to protect our communities during public health emergencies.
Thank you to GNR Public Health and everyone involved for putting together a successful and informative exercise.
