ECHO -- Emergency and Community Health Outreach

An emergency siren sounds. A serious disease outbreak hits the community.

Do you know where you can get life-saving information to protect yourself?

Your family? Now, there's an answer: ECHO

ECHO exists to ensure that people with limited English proficiency receive life-saving health and safety information — in some of the languages they understand best. ECHO provides health and safety information in multiple languages by fax, phone, on television and on the web during emergency and non-emergency times to people with limited English language skills. For more on echo or to watch one of their many health and safety programs (all produced in seven languages), go to:
