Who would manage a suspected biological or chemical threat/attack in Milwaukee?
Police, fire, paramedics and rescue personnel have been trained to recognize signs of deliberate or accidental release of toxic or biological hazards. Municipal and county agencies, including public health, hazardous materials teams, and emergency medical services, have joined forces to provide expert assistance to our communities in an event of this type. This system will be triggered as needed by police, fire or health care personnel. For general information please call the City of Milwaukee Health Department 414-286-3606.
