practices and sampling methodologies, will gather consistent and valid 
data that are representative of the target population, address non-

statistically useful results.

    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are residents living in coastal areas where public 
officials may call for an evacuation when a hurricane threatens. The 
sample population queried in this generic collection is typically 
identified using available hurricane risk data, including data on areas 
at risk from hurricane storm surge flooding, previous hurricane 
evacuation studies or hurricane response plans, established hurricane 
evacuation zones, and in coordination with State and Local governments 
within the study area who are responsible for hurricane emergency 
management and evacuation decision making.
