The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public feedback on their "Operational Readiness Review 2.0" information collection project, as part of compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This project assesses the public health emergency preparedness of 62 jurisdictions, including major cities, to ensure they are ready to handle health emergencies. The public has 30 days to provide comments on whether the information collected is essential, accurate, and efficient. The CDC uses this data to identify strengths and challenges in preparedness programs and improve responses to public health threats.
Simple Explanation
The CDC wants people to share their thoughts on a plan to check if big cities are ready for health emergencies. They want to make sure everyone is prepared and know what to do if something bad happens.
