Privacy Office, Department of

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act System of
Records.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to
establish a new system of records titled,
‘‘DHS/Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)–013 Operational Use of
Publicly Available Social Media Internet
Sources for Situational Awareness
System of Records.’’ This system of
records authorizes DHS/FEMA to
monitor, collect, and maintain
information from publicly available
social media sources to provide critical
situational awareness in support of
FEMA’s mission to reduce the loss of
life and property and protect the nation
from all hazards, including natural
disasters, acts of terrorism, and other
man-made disasters. FEMA’s social
media monitoring initiative was neither
designed nor intended to collect
personally identifiable information (PII);
however, given the unpredictable nature
of disasters and emergency
management, the content that is posted,
and the voluntary and unrestricted
nature of social media, it is possible for
FEMA to collect, maintain, and in
extremis circumstances, disseminate a
limited amount of PII to first
responders. FEMA is publishing this
System of Records Notice because
FEMA may collect PII from social media
for certain narrowly tailored categories.
For example, in the event of an in
extremis situation involving potential
life and death, FEMA will collect and
share certain PII with Federal, State,
local, tribal, and territorial first
responders in order for them to take the
