emergency preparedness system for all hazards. Id. The definition of
emergency preparedness includes all activities and measures designed or
undertaken to prepare or minimize the effects of a hazard upon the
civilian population. 42 U.S.C. 5195a(3). The conduct of research is
among the measures to be undertaken in preparation for hazards. See Id.
This proposed information collection previously published in the

Collection of Information
Title: Post Disaster Survivor Preparedness Research Survey.
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660-0146.
FEMA Forms: FEMA Form FF-008-FY-21-112 (formerly FEMA Form 519-0-
54), Post Disaster Survivor Preparedness Research: Instruments.
Abstract: The economic and human toll of major disasters in the
United States is increasing and historically underserved communities
are disproportionately impacted. Poverty, race, limited English
proficiency, age, and other demographic, cultural, and socio-economic
variables can significantly inhibit people's ability to take steps to
prepare. To reverse this trend, emergency managers must ensure
historically undeserved communities receive critical information that
helps each person take steps to prepare themselves, their families, and
their communities. To achieve equity in opportunities to prepare for
disasters, FEMA proposes a series of qualitative focus groups,
cognitive interviews, and targeted surveys to better understand
individual experiences within historically underserved communities
during recent disasters. FEMA Form FF-008-FY-21-112 (formerly FEMA Form
519-0-54) is a combined instrument that contains the script and
question bank for conducting the focus groups, cognitive interviews,
and surveys.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,120 respondents.
Estimated Number of Responses: 3,120 responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 650.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $25,513.
Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.00.
Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.00.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $188,267.
