GCHD Presents at TEHA Gulf Coast Chapter Spring Conference!
The presentation, “Environmental Health in Disasters: A Practical Preparedness and Response Playbook,” provided a clear and actionable overview of strategies to reduce public health impacts before, during, and after disaster events.
Marco Javier, Emergency Management Coordinator with the Galveston County Health District, shared a practical, field-ready approach to disaster preparedness and response. His experience includes prior service with the Texas Division of Emergency Management, where he supported multi-county incident operations, partner coordination, and deployment readiness.
We appreciate the opportunity to share and exchange ideas that strengthen environmental health preparedness across our region.
