Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved for 3 years. However, a single mailing does not constitute a sufficient effort on the part of the agency (or contractor) to obtain a representative sample, and therefore a minimum of at least one additional attempt should be made for all surveys regardless of the response rate. Modification of contract to allow for these follow up surveys is a condition of future approvals of this collection.

Abstract: FEMA Housing Inspection Services contracts inspectors to assess dwelling damage and verify personal information of applicants for FEMA disaster assistance in federally declared disasters areas. Because FEMA needs to evaluate the inspectors’ performance, FEMA conducts surveys to measure the satisfaction level of the applicants with their inspection experience. FEMA Inspection Services Managers and Task Monitors generally use the survey results to gauge and make improvements to disaster services that increase customer satisfaction and program effectiveness. The information is shared with Regional staff specific to the federal declaration for which the survey is conducted.
