To prevent and/or mitigate the potential impact of a health incident, such as; a naturally-occurring pandemic; a devastating environmental o

r geological event; or a terrorist attack with chemical, biological or radiological weapons, through dynamic and open collaboration. To respond to surge capacity demands on health systems and health resources efficiently and in a cost effective manner when health emergencies arise in any jurisdiction party to the Pacific NorthWest Border Health Alliance Memorandum of Understanding; and

To assess current and explore future areas of collaboration that could result in efficiencies when providing health services in all Alliance jurisdictions.
