Dear X,

We all work hard each and every day to accomplish XYZ. We need to make sure that our most important resource – our workforce – is safe and prepared if something were to happen in our own local community. Ready CDC is a program to increase the personal and household preparedness of the X workforce. Regardless of your current level of preparedness, we encourage you to join your colleagues in participating in “Ready CDC.”

You are personally invited to be a part of the Ready CDC study conducted by OPHPR’s Learning Office.  Your involvement will include:

• giving your informed consent to participate below (2 minutes),

• completing a brief survey in the next few weeks (10 minutes),

• attending an in-person workshop on XX/XX/XXXX at XX PM  to learn about relevant, county-specific information from EMA, the American Red Cross, and other local experts (60 minutes), and,

• completing a brief workshop evaluation and follow-up survey over the next few months (5 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively).

Please click on the “Informed Consent” link below to learn more and indicate whether or not you would like to participate by XX/XX/XXXX.  Additional information will follow shortly.
