SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 6 U.S.C. 313-314, and section 611
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act,
(codified at 42 U.S.C. 5196), the mission of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is to reduce the loss of life and property and
protect the Nation from all hazards by leading and supporting the
Nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of
preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. FEMA's
Individual and Community Preparedness Division (ICPD) supports the FEMA
Mission by connecting individuals, organizations, and communities with
research and tools to build and sustain capabilities to prepare for any
disaster or emergency. The Division conducts research to better
understand effective preparedness actions and ways to motivate the
public to take those actions. ICPD develops and shares preparedness
resources and coordinates comprehensive disaster preparedness
initiatives that empower communities to prepare for, protect against,
respond to, and recover from a disaster. This mission is achieved
through close coordination with the FEMA Regions and working
relationships with Federal, state, local, and Tribal agencies. This
includes working with nongovernmental partners from all sectors both
nationally and through neighborhood-based community groups.
This collection will allow ICPD to gather the following information
from the public via web form(s):
<bullet> Feedback: General feedback on the effectiveness of
national FEMA preparedness programs and initiatives and website user
experience
<bullet> Activity Details: Information regarding the type, size and
location of preparedness activities hosted by members of the public and
community organizers
<bullet> POC Information: For registration within the site and
follow-on communication, if needed
<bullet> Future Engagement Requests: Allow for the public to enroll
in the ICPD newsletter or other public communications
<bullet> Publication Ordering: Submitting requests to the FEMA
publication warehouse to have materials shipped directly to members of
the public
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on March 31, 2023, at 88 FR 19316 with a 60-day public
comment period. One public comment was received regarding the benefit
of collecting this information to the public. ICPD uses data regularly
in order to develop efficient and effective preparedness programming
for individuals and communities across the nation. Data collection,
including asking the public for their opinions on ICPD educational
materials, helps ICPD make informed decisions about program development
and program revision cycles. The collection mentioned in this
information collection request contains multiple methods for the public
to freely share their perspectives and opinions on ICPD programming
online.
The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will
submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and clearance.
