Download as PDF 8647 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 24 / Monday, February 8, 2021 / Notices • Lack of consistency for what supplies to include in an emergency supply kit: While the public can access information on what contents are likely important to include in emergency supply kits, there is a lack of information as to whether there is a standard set of supplies that is consistently needed across disaster types • Lack of a standard tool for evaluation of emergency supply kit use and effectiveness • Lack of information on how emergency supply kit items are used during or following disasters: Currently we lack detailed information on how households use emergency supply kit items during or following disasters and what, if any, are barriers to their use • Lack of information on effectiveness of emergency supply kits in preventing adverse outcomes: To our knowledge, there is no information on whether the use of emergency supply items prevents adverse health outcomes. Among individuals with health conditions, it remains unclear whether preparing an emergency supply kit with adequate medications and medical supplies prevents the worsening of conditions or the need for emergency medical services • Lack of data to support emergency supply kit recommendations: It is unclear whether having essential supplies improves self-sufficiency and lessens the need for outside assistance This general lack of research on the efficacy and use of emergency supply kits impedes our ability to make datadriven recommendations regarding emergency supply kit promotion. The cross-sectional disaster survey and focus group(s) on the public’s knowledge, preparedness, and use of emergency supply kits will identify and inform public health officials about the most useful items to include in an emergency supply kit, ideally across two different types of disasters. Survey participants will be selected via address-based sampling in the defined geographic area impacted by the disaster and given the choice to complete the survey via paper (i.e., Teleform) or online via a web-based instrument. Survey participants will also be recruited using an existing, nonprobability web panel and be directed to the online, web-based instrument to create a larger, more costeffective dataset. Focus group participants will be randomly selected among survey respondents and/or recruited via targeted social media (e.g., Facebook, Craigslist) to provide context and enhancement to the survey. The estimated annualized burden is 384 hours. The estimated burden is based on conducting the survey at one site per year, taking 15 minutes per respondent via the web or 30 minutes via paper survey, and up to two focus groups in each site taking approximately five minutes for the focus group screener and two hours for the focus group. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Form name General public ......................................
