I. Abstract
This request is for extension of this
information collection.
This information collection supports
the Tsunami Warning and Education

effectiveness of NOAA/National

to gather specific feedback information
following testing of the associated NWS
communications systems. The tests are
planned annually, in March/April and
again in September. Post-test feedback
information will be requested from
emergency managers, the media, law
enforcement officials, local government
agencies/officials, and the general
public. The responses will be solicited
for a limited period immediately
following completion of the tests, not to
exceed seven days. This will be a Webbased survey and will allow for efficient
collection of information regarding the
effectiveness of the Tsunami Warning
System.
