The Medical Response System (MRS) was created to enhance the State of Nebraska's ability to respond to emergent and public health situations that involve large  numbers of people and/or disruption of services. MRS acts as a catalyst to facilitate communication and cooperation among entities, allowing them to better plan for and respond to these situations through collaboration of efforts. In addition, MRS provides resources for training, education, exercises and communication enhancement as well as development of Medical Reserve Corps and assistance in the development of protocols for responding to surge capacity situations.
The State of Nebraska is divided into six MRS regions each with its own steering committee which sets the goals and activities largely based upon the unique needs of the region. In addition, Eric Sergeant, Hospital Preparedness Grant Coordinator at Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and John Roberts, MRS Program Consultant, provide leadership and direction to the committees, helping the regions steer their activities toward goals established by the state and federal government, as necessary for continued funding.
