Emotional Health is the current Lifeline
system administrator and this award
funds a rapid expansion of the ongoing
Lifeline services to meet the anticipated
demands of the FCC’s 988 launch before
July 2022. Since 2005, Vibrant
Emotional Health has provided
oversight and management of the
Suicide Prevention Lifeline and its local
call centers, backup centers, and chat/
text functions with a network of over
180 centers in all fifty states. This
longstanding history has positioned
Vibrant Emotional Health as the best
suited organization as the only
identified organization with the
required experience and national reach
to work with the backup centers and
chat/text organizations with expansion
of their workforce and development of
the infrastructure that is needed for the
launch of 988 in July 2022. Vibrant
Emotional Health’s history, experience,
and ongoing communications with these
centers are critical given the time
sensitivity of the need for sufficient
capacity to be in place by July 2022.
Several external evaluations have
reinforced the evidence of effectiveness
of Lifeline services through oversight of
the Lifeline by Vibrant Emotional
Health.
The Federal Communication
Commission has ordered that by July 16,
2022 every cell phone, land line and
voice over internet provider in the
United States must make 988
operational and this date of
implementation is also a requirement in
the National Suicide Hotline
Designation Act. Given the anticipated
significantly increased contact volumes
with the universal availability of 988, a
rapid upgrading of Lifeline capacity is
required by July 2022. It would not be
possible for any other organization to
establish the relationships with crisis
centers that Vibrant Emotional Health
has built over the last 15 years by July
2022, running the risk of significant
numbers of unanswered calls, chats, and
texts. In addition, if these funds were
awarded to another organization,
oversight of the expanded backup and
chat/text centers would be fragmented
and the network would run the risk of
inefficiencies and adverse outcomes to
individuals in crisis during the period
when the demand for Lifeline is
expected to surge with the launch of
988. Coordination, quality monitoring,
and rapid response would be
compromised. Vibrant Emotional Health
also has extensive engagement with the
Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans
Crisis Line (VCL) that helps ensure call
connectivity between Vibrant Emotional
Health and VCL, backup services, and

engagement across the Lifeline local
crisis centers on Veteran identification,
care, and linkage to the VA. Vibrant
Emotional Health has long been
recognized throughout the nation for its
state-of-art technology-enabled services,
community wellness programs, and
advocacy and education work and is
uniquely qualified to carry-out the
requirements of this funding
opportunity.

Collection of Information
Title: FEMA-Administered Disaster
Case Management Intake Form.
Type of information collection: New
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–NW132.
FEMA Forms: FF–104–FY–21–146
and FF–104–FY–21–147.
Abstract: This collection tool will
primarily be used as a guide to support
FEMA-administered Disaster Case
Management (DCM) case managers by
outlining the allowable data elements
they can collect from survivors on
behalf of FEMA. While there will be a
paper collection tool, the case managers
will primarily be using the tool as a
reference of data elements they can
collect, and using their own case
management database systems to guide
the order in which the elements are
collected. The elements within the tool
are used to assess, screen, and refer
disaster survivors to available resources
that address their specific disasterrelated unmet needs. Case managers
then take the information from the
intake form and manually upload the
data into their secured case management
database.
Prior to any data collection, survivors
will complete and sign a FEMAadministered DCM Consent Form,
authorizing FEMA, or its agent, to
collect data from the survivor in order
to effectively provide case management
services.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
75,000.

of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
