About NACCHO The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) represents the nation's 2,800 local health departments (LHDs). NACCHO’s Mission: To be a leader, partner, catalyst, and voice for local health departments in order to ensure the conditions that promote health and equity, combat disease, and improve the quality and length of all lives.

Governance of Local Health Departments (by State) Local = All LHDs in state are units of local government State = All LHDs in state are units of state government Shared = All LHDs in state governed by both state and local authorities Mixed = LHDs in state have more than one governance type

Cuts Reduce Capacity for Response LHDs collectively lost 43,900 jobs since Workforce losses and gains were roughly equal in 2012, with LHDs adding 4,000 positions and reducing 4,300 positions. Estimated Number of LHD Job Losses Over Time Job Losses (Layoffs or Attrition) 20087, , , , ,300 TOTAL43,900

Enhance the knowledge of librarians, special-population healthcare providers, and Community Health Workers (CHWs) on the functional role local emergency and disaster organizations, and develop skills to participate and assist in emergency and/or disaster events. Increase awareness on local practices and methods of information sharing, including the use of the 2-1-1, 24/7 Information and Referral system, 911, the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) PAHO’s virtual library, NLM, and others.
