Ready CDC is an educational intervention designed to increase awareness about personal and family preparedness and increase the number of individuals who are prepared for a disaster in their community. CDC is responsible for responding to national and international disasters. One component of ensuring staff are prepared to respond to disasters is ensuring that they have personal and family preparedness plans. 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 and 3 targeted communications to reinforce concepts from the workshop. The audience will be the CDC workforce including both federal staff and contractors.
