What this tracks
This dataset maps Nebraska’s regional Health Care Coalitions that coordinate emergency medical responses across counties.
Why it matters to you
When a disaster hits Nebraska — like a flood, tornado, or disease outbreak — your local Health Care Coalition determines which hospitals, clinics, and EMS teams work together to provide care. Knowing your coalition helps you understand emergency medical resources in your region. For example, if you’re choosing between two nursing homes for a relative, checking which coalition they’re in reveals their backup support system during crises.
How to read this data
