Frequently Asked Questions:

What Is the California Health Alert Network (CAHAN)?

CAHAN is a state-sponsored web-based system to send warnings of impending or current situations that may affect the medical/health systems. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Emergency Preparedness Office administers CAHAN to facilitate alerting and collaboration between federal, state, local health departments, clinics, hospitals, and other public health emergency partners on a 24 x 7 x 365 basis.  

What Is the Alerting Capability of CAHAN?

When an alert message is sent, CAHAN sends the message to email addresses, telephones, faxes, email capable alphanumeric pagers, and cell phones. CDPH can send alerts out to all local health departments; local health departments can send alerts within their county, to neighboring local health departments, and to CDPH.

Who Are the Intended Users of CAHAN Alerts?

CAHAN Alerts are intended for state and local health response officials, preparedness coordinators, and medical/health partner agencies. User information is maintained through a secure web portal requiring a user ID and password that is not accessible to the general public.
