Agency, at (202) 646–2500 or FEMAPrepare@fema.dhs.gov. You may contact

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
measures to be undertaken in
preparation for hazards.
Collection of Information
Title: Post Disaster Survivor
Preparedness Research Survey.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0146
FEMA Forms: FEMA Form FF–008–
FY–21–112 (formerly FEMA Form 519–
0–54), Post Disaster Survivor
Preparedness Research: Instruments
Abstract: The economic and human
toll of major disasters in the United
States is increasing and historically
underserved communities are
disproportionately impacted. Poverty,
race, limited English proficiency, age,
and other demographic, cultural, and
socio-economic variables can
significantly inhibit people’s ability to
take steps to prepare. To reverse this
trend, emergency managers must ensure
historically undeserved communities
receive critical information that helps
each person take steps to prepare
themselves, their families, and their
communities. To achieve equity in
opportunities to prepare for disasters,
FEMA proposes a series of qualitative
focus groups, cognitive interviews, and
targeted surveys to better understand
individual experiences within
historically underserved communities
during recent disasters. FEMA Form
519–0–54 is a combined instrument that
contains the script and question bank
for conducting the focus groups,
cognitive interviews, and surveys.
