Emergency Response BEHS operates a 24/7 On-Call schedule to evaluate emergency events (truck/train wreaks, floods, fires, etc.) Works jointly with Office of Emergency Coordination in the deployment of the Missouri Rapid Response Team Assists in large scale emergency events. Assists with coordinating activities between LPHA, State and Feds.
BEHS-LPHA Liaisons BEHS separates our field work activities into 5 Districts. Each District is overseen by a District Supervisor. The District Supervisors are the point of contact for LPHAs. They are entry point into the DHSS system and can coordinate assistance across programs and various subject matters.
