According to the glossary from the National Response Framework Resource Center, ‘‘all-hazards’’ is defined as ‘‘describing an incident, natural or manmade, that warrants action to protect life, property, environment, and public health or safety, and to minimize disruptions of government, social, or economic activities.’’ This generic IC requests the authority to collect a wide array of data from traditional and non-traditional public health sources to assist in this effort. This generic IC will enable CDC to collect data during public health emergencies (as the response is taking place) and after public health emergencies (as the recovery is taking place) to aid response and recovery efforts and to answer pre-determined research questions. These data may be used to inform our preparedness for subsequent emergencies that may potentially occur and also inform decisions made by CDC Director. All-hazards public health emergencies are those events that are formally declared emergencies by Federal, State or local jurisdictions. Declarations can be made by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act and at the state or local levels by the Governor, state public health officer, city or county council or mayor and the local public health officer respectively. During and after these emergencies, assistance may be needed to supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe. Also, CDC may have to assist the State and local, tribal, and territorial levels of government with critical data collection to support immediate data needs for situational awareness. Situational Awareness has been defined as ‘‘the perception of elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future.’’ A three-year OMB approval is requested to allow CDC to collect data during and after emergencies. Data collected under this generic IC will use a variety of data collection methods. Some of the methods include but are not limited to: Personal interviews, telephone interviews, focus groups, institutional record reviews, medical record reviews, and paper or Internet questionnaires and other secure electronic data exchange. Each proposed data collection submitted under this generic IC will provide information pertaining to that particular public health emergency.

The supplemental funds, coupled with the TA providers’ expertise, will enable Open Doors Safety Capacity-Building project grantees to receive more training and site-specific consultation, so that they may build program capacity. The awards will also support State-level collaboration between domestic violence organizations and child welfare agencies. These combined efforts will strengthen the ability of domestic violence programs and their partners to better serve survivors who have diverse backgrounds, experiences, and abilities.

Proposed Project

    All-Hazards Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response 
Generic Data Collection--New--Coordinating Office for Terrorism 
Preparedness and Emergency Response (COTPER), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Data from agencies and individuals are needed to assist CDC in 
responding to and planning for domestic and international all-hazards 
public health emergencies. According to the glossary from the National 
Response Framework Resource Center, ``all-hazards'' is defined as 
``describing an incident, natural or manmade, that warrants action to 
protect life, property, environment, and public health or safety, and 
to minimize disruptions of government, social, or economic 
activities.'' This generic IC requests the authority to collect a wide 
array of data from traditional and non-traditional public health 
sources to assist in this effort. This generic IC will enable CDC to 
collect data during public health emergencies (as the response is 
taking place) and after public health emergencies (as the recovery is 
taking place) to aid response and recovery efforts and to answer pre-
determined research questions. These data may be used to inform our 
preparedness for subsequent emergencies that may potentially occur and 
also inform decisions made by CDC Director.
    All-hazards public health emergencies are those events that are 
formally declared emergencies by Federal, State or local jurisdictions. 
Declarations can be made by the Secretary of the Department of Health 
and Human Services (DHHS) under Section 319 of the Public Health 
Service Act and at the state or local levels by the Governor, state 
public health officer, city or county council or mayor and the local 
public health officer respectively. During and after these emergencies, 
assistance may be needed to supplement State and local efforts and 
capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health 
and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe. Also, 
CDC may have to assist the State and local, tribal, and territorial 
levels of government with critical data collection to support immediate 
data needs for situational awareness. Situational Awareness has been 
defined as ``the perception of elements in the environment within a 
volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the 
projection of their status in the near future.''
    A three-year OMB approval is requested to allow CDC to collect data 
during and after emergencies. Data collected under this generic IC will 
use a variety of data collection methods. Some of the methods include
