The Dover Board of Health has set up an Emergency Preparedness Program along with 34 other boards of health in other towns. The board has been involved in this program and has been working closely with the Department of Public Health, Center of Disease Control and Homeland Security regarding setting up an infrastructure system in case of flu pandemic or a bioterrorist event.
