The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant is a federally-funded initiative that enhances the ability of Riverside County’s Department of Public Health (RCDOPH) to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies, whether naturally occurring or man-made.
The CDC grant provides allocations to counties along with guidance to meet the CDC’s mission of health promotion through health information dissemination, preparedness, prevention, research, and surveillance; and to reach certain critical benchmark requirements and priority projects, such as inter-agency collaboration at all levels of government, including with Tribal entities, emergency preparedness for special needs populations, support and equipment acquisitions for the Department Operations Center (DOC), certification of the Community Health Agency (CHA) staff in ICS, SEMS and NIMS compliance through the provision of trainings and exercises.
