About Us:

Our mission at the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is advancing the health and well‑being of all Ohioans. Our agency is committed to building a modern, vibrant public health system that creates the conditions where all Ohioans flourish.

The Bureau of Health Preparedness plays a vital role in this mission. We lead in preparing for and responding to public health threats — from natural disasters and disease outbreaks to bioterrorism and radiological emergencies. Our all‑hazards approach ensures Ohio is ready for anything.

Are you ready to help communities stay strong, safe, and resilient? Step into a role where every day brings purpose. You'll guide local health agencies and hospitals as a trusted program consultant, turning data, strategy, and collaboration into real‑world impact. From shaping preparedness guidelines and training teams, to evaluating innovative projects and navigating federal grants, you'll be at the center of planning for the unexpected.

You’ll use tools to spot emerging risks and strengthen response capabilities. You'll be responsible for building partnerships, coordinating resources, and, when needed, support on‑ground disaster recovery and public health response efforts.

If you're energized by problem‑solving, teamwork, and protecting communities before, during, and after emergencies, this role is your chance to make a difference where it truly counts.

• Serve as a program consultant for local public health and healthcare preparedness projects.
• Provide technical assistance to internal and external partners (e.g., local health departments, hospitals).
• Monitor and evaluate funded projects and ensure alignment with federal grant strategies and benchmarks.
• Develop and deliver educational materials and training related to preparedness performance measures.
• Identify public health risks and determine preparedness needs using CDC guidelines and GIS tools.
• Assist in developing program guidelines, procedural manuals, and compliance reports.
• Coordinate and monitor federal and state grant applications, budgets, and contracts.
• Facilitate partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to advance preparedness goals.
• Participate in disaster recovery and public health response teams as needed.
