The MMRS program is an ongoing effort by the public health and safety community in the City of Albuquerque to plan for serious health and medical catastrophes, to develop systems for coordinating and providing critical care where it is needed, and to purchase medicine and equipment. The primary focus of the MMRS program is to develop and enhance existing emergency preparedness systems to effectively respond to a public health crisis. Through preparation and coordination, local law enforcement, fire, hazmat, EMS, hospital, public health, and other first response personnel plan to more effectively respond.

In 1999, the City of Albuquerque began its development and implementation of a Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS). The program was transferred to the Environmental Health Department on September 30, 2003. The City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department's MMRS program is currently funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to coordinate preparedness for emergency medical response in the city.
