SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Stafford Act, Title VI, Emergency
Preparedness (42 U.S.C. 5195–5195(a))
identifies the purpose of emergency
preparedness ‘‘for the protection of life
and property in the United States from
hazards.’’ It directs that the Federal
Government ‘‘provide necessary
direction, coordination, and guidance’’
as authorized for a comprehensive
emergency preparedness system for all
hazards. Emergency preparedness is
defined as all ‘‘activities and measures
designed or undertaken to prepare or
minimize the effects of a hazard upon
the civilian population. . .’’ The
‘‘conduct of research’’ is among the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
measures to be undertaken in
preparation for hazards.
The DHS Strategic Plan 2020–2024
includes Goal 5, to ‘‘strengthen
preparedness and resiliency.’’ The first
objective of this goal is to ‘‘build a
national culture of preparedness’’ with
a sub-objective to ‘‘improve awareness
initiatives to encourage public action to
increase preparedness.
Similarly, in FEMA’s Strategic Plan
2018–2022, Strategic Goal 1 is to ‘‘build
a culture of preparedness’’ with
objective 1.3 to ‘‘help people prepare for
disasters.’’ The performance measures
for objective 1.3 include increasing the
percentage of people with savings set
aside for an emergency and increasing
the percentage of people who have
taken preparedness actions.
Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD–
8) directs the Secretary of Homeland
Security to ‘‘coordinate a
comprehensive campaign to build and
sustain national preparedness,
including public outreach and
community-based and private sector
programs to enhance national resilience,
the provision of Federal financial
assistance, preparedness efforts by the
Federal Government, and national
research and development efforts.’’
In response to FEMA’s
responsibilities above, the information
from this collection will be used to track
changes in knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors related to preparedness in the
general public.
