Abstract: The information collected is required for the Public Assistance (PA) Program eligibility determinations, grants management, and compliance with other Federal laws and regulations. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5121-5207 (the Stafford Act), authorizes grants to assist State, Tribal, and local governments and certain private non-profit entities with the response to and recovery from disasters following Presidentially declared major disasters and emergencies.

Emergency Justfication: State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments can request sheltering support services after receiving an emergency or major disaster declaration authorizing PA emergency protective measures. FEMA provides PA funding to SLTT governments for costs related to emergency sheltering for disaster survivors. Typically, sheltering occurs in facilities with large open spaces, such as schools, churches, community centers, or other similar facilities. However, there are situations when the need arises to support survivors in non-congregate shelters, which are locations where each individual or household has living space that offers some level of privacy such as hotels, motels, or dormitories. To ensure FEMA can track individuals and households transitioned into more permanent housing solutions and the successful reimbursement to the state for the cost of sheltering survivors, additional information needs to be collected to support non-congregate sheltering in Hawaii. The following questions should be included into PA’s information collection 1660-0017: Number of rooms Check in date Check out date Person ID Site ID for shelter With the escalating demand for sheltering services and the recognition that sheltering periods are likely to extend in the face of mounting housing crises, FEMA should make this data collection change not only for Hawaii but as a standard practice for future disaster scenarios. This will better equip FEMA to meet the evolving needs of survivors and communities during these challenging times. It is vital that FEMA implement the revision to PA’s information collection as soon as possible.
