About the Health Alert Network​

The Health Alert Network (HAN) is a nationwide system for coordinating and distributing important information about public health events. It helps us strengthen our emergency preparedness at the local, state and federal levels.

Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (NDHHS) uses Health Alert Network (HAN) for sharing important and timely information about public health incidents and prevention/treatment guidelines to health care providers, hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, veterinarians, dentists, long term care/nursing facilities, Tribal health centers and local health departments by email and text messages.

Level of Communication Types:

  • Health Alert: Conveys the highest level of importance; warrants immediate action or attention.
  • Health Advisory: Provides important information for a specific incident or situation; might not require immediate action.
  • Health Update: Provides updated information regarding an incident or situation; unlikely to require immediate action. ​
