Abstract: FEMA’s Community Preparedness Division would like to renew a currently approved collection to evaluate the state of preparedness nationally. The Community Preparedness Division analyzes the data collected through this telephone survey of the public to identify progress and gaps in citizen and community preparedness and participation. This information is used by the Community Preparedness Division, and Citizen Corps Councils to tailor awareness and recruitment campaigns, messaging and public information efforts, and strategic planning initiatives to more effectively improve the state of citizen preparedness and participation across the country.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden estimate for completion of the data collection instruments has decreased from 6,000 responses to 5,040 a decrease of 960 responses and the response time has decreased from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, a decrease of 15 minutes. Therefore, the total annual burden hours will decrease by 1740. The intent is to apply a new strategy for maintaining a burden of 15 minutes for the total section of questions in the instrument with annual flexibility on the hazard selection from among the hazards and the question selection from the questions provided for each question area. This will provide specific consistent burden hours, transparency for the hazard and questions but flexibility for selection from among the hazards and questions submitted.
