Proposed Project
Ready CDC—New—Office of Public
Health Preparedness and Response
(OPHPR), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Under the Authority of Section 301 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
241), the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention is responsible for
administering the Ready CDC program.
Ready CDC is an educational
intervention designed to increase
awareness about personal and family
preparedness and increase the number
individuals who are prepared for a
disaster in their community. As a
response Agency, CDC is responsible for
responding to national and international
disasters. One component of ensuring
staff are prepared to respond to disasters
is ensuring that the workforce has their
personal and family preparedness plans
in place. Research has shown that
individuals are more likely to respond
to an event if they perceive that their
family is prepared to function in their
absence during an emergency.
The Ready CDC educational
intervention consists of a Personal
Preparedness Workshop as well as three
targeted communications to reinforce
concepts discussed during the
workshop. The audience for this
intervention will be CDC federal
employees with a responder role (Phase
I), other samples of the CDC workforce
including both federal staff and
contractors (Phase II), and audiences
outside of the CDC, possibly including
other external governmental and nongovernmental organizations (Phase III).
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval for three
years to collect information that will
measure the initial preparedness of
participants, satisfaction with the
Personal Preparedness Workshops, and
the change in individual knowledge and
behaviors related to personal and family
preparedness.
CDC has developed three data
collection instruments: (1) PreWorkshop Survey; (2) Ready CDC
Workshop Evaluation; and (3) FollowUp Survey. Collectively, these
