Bill overview
The CARE Act, formally known as the Coordinated Agency Response Enhancement Act, directs the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create and implement two key programs: an after-action program to analyze responses to public health emergencies and a risk communication strategy to ensure clear and effective public messaging. The bill aims to improve HHS’s preparedness and coordination during future health crises by identifying areas for improvement and tailoring communications to vulnerable populations. It also provides funding to support these initiatives.
