The Community Communications Network (CCN) is designed to improve Public Health's ability to outreach to vulnerable communities during an emergency. Currently, the CCN includes more than 200 agencies and includes after hours contact information for the majority. In times of crisis, Public Health will use the Community Communications Network to contact agencies that provide services to vulnerable populations who may not have access to traditional communication channels. CBOs pass this information to the vulnerable populations that they serve, and notify VPAT if their clients need any further assistance, resources, or information that the CBO cannot provide.
