What is a Neighborhood Distribution Center (NDC)?

In the event of an incident that would require mass dispensing of emergency antibiotics and the implementation of the pharmaceutical component of our MMRS plan, pre-designated sites called Neighborhood Distribution Centers (NDC) would be set up to quickly distribute medications, vaccinations and information. NDC sites include locations such as schools, community centers, businesses, and health care facilities. Sedgwick County is prepared to quickly distribute emergency pharmaceuticals to a large number of people.

As with any emergency incident, residents should always tune in to local media for information and instructions. In the event that we should need to activate the Neighborhood Distribution Centers (NDC), the media will inform when you need to go to your NDC.

This Neighborhood Distribution Center interactive map is provided to assist citizens in locating their designated Neighborhood Distribution Center in case of a biological attack, a Public Health emergency that will require medications. Citizens may enter their address or nearest street intersection to retrieve a map that will identify their nearest Neighborhood Distribution Center.
