In 2016, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ emergency operations center was activated when the residents of Flint, Michigan, were found to be exposed to unsafe levels of lead through their drinking water. The governor declared a state of emergency, and instructed Flint residents to use only bottled or filtered water. PHEP supported free blood lead testing for people who couldn’t otherwise afford it, connecting the community’s most vulnerable residents with the care they needed. The Department of Health also educated residents about how to stay healthy and supported crisis counseling services, including a crisis hotline.
