Region 2 Survey Questions



Region II Community and Faith-Based Organizations Needs/Capabilities and Continuity Program Survey


Includes two separate surveys – 1.) Needs and Capability Assessment, 2.) Individual Skills Survey and 3.) Continuity of Operations.


The Needs and Capability Assessment and the individual skills survey were originally found in a FEMA text, Engaging Community and Faith-based Organizations. The individual skills survey is a means of providing a service to partners to easily assess capacity in their organization in a deidentified manner. The COOP exercise is an adaptation to existing surveys for use when engaging R2 stakeholders.


The intent is to utilize these surveys in whole, or in part, to gather data from R2 stakeholders that will inform programmatic priorities and actions. Respondents will only take one of these surveys at a time, and determination of what surveys will be deployed will be determined by FEMA Region 2 National Preparedness Division leadership.


Request: Region 2 requests that this question bank be routed for formal approval and granted an OMB Control number so regular and recurrent surveys can be administered for continuous improvement purposes.

Needs and Capability Assessment


Organizational Capabilities Assessment Form

Use this customizable self-assessment form to aid in determining how partner organizations might assist in emergency management operations. Elements of this form were developed in collaboration with partners in Miami-Dade County Communities Organized to Respond in Emergencies (C.O.R.E.), the National Disaster Interfaith Network, and the University of Southern California Center on Religion and Civic Culture.

Continuity of Operations



Continuity Program Survey

Introduction

The purpose of this survey is to examine current state of your organization’s continuity program. It will help to identify the organization’s current and potential partnerships within the community, which are critical to developing and sustaining a culture of continuity. It will help identify existing coordinating structures in which organizational continuity planners should participate in to integrate continuity planning, operations, and responsibilities into emergency management, preparedness, and resilience efforts. Other inter- and intra-organizational continuity plans and programs (e.g., incident management, Occupant Emergency Plans, and Emergency Operations Plans, IT/Disaster Recovery Plans), should be considered to ensure synchronization across plans and programs enhancing overall continuity posture.
