Short Description
A.1. The sole purpose of this grant is to fund the Grantee’s performance of the services described herein during the Term of this Agreement. The focus of this grant is to help the Grantee, as part of the healthcare and public health system, to quickly and effectively respond to and recover from 21st century threats by enhancing communications, improving resource management, and building medical surge capacity. The Grantee can accomplish this by assessing, prioritizing, building, and exercising the necessary resource elements, tasks, and functions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) most current version of the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Capabilities National Standards as amended from time to time (https://www.cdc.gov/phpr/readiness). The Grantee will include in its quarterly reporting both specific mandated deliverables from the Scope of Work and Performance Measures listed below - as well as various activities selected and prioritized by the Grantee according to its local and regional priorities. The Grantee is expected to conduct activities that will fully repair the Grantee’s Public Health and Medical Services Response Regions (PHMSRR) public health or healthcare preparedness gaps identified through exercises, events, and other public health preparedness risk assessment and planning. The Grantee is also required to perform certain deliverables that will lead to the generation and reporting of performance measures to the Department.
