The purpose of this change request is
to obtain approval to collect the assigned unique ID during the
workshop evaluation. 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
