The purpose of this legislation, known as the Coordinated Agency Response Enhancement Act or the CARE Act, is to improve the response of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to public health emergencies. It aims to create a structured after-action program and a risk communication strategy that will help the department learn from past emergencies and communicate effectively with the public. Key provisions of the CARE Act include the establishment of an after-action program that will evaluate HHS's responses to public health emergencies.
