SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new generic
information collection. The generic
clearance is an important planning and
engagement tool for NOAA/NWS. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) products and
services support economic vitality and
can affect America’s gross domestic
product. The National Weather Service
(NWS) is a critical component of this
service and operates under the mission
to ‘‘provide weather, water and climate
data, forecasts, warnings, and impactbased decision support services for the
protection of life and property and
enhancement of the national economy.’’
Leveraging and integrating Social,
Behavioral, and Economic Sciences
(SBES) methodologies and knowledge is
crucial to meeting this mission.
In order to effectively support public
and partner decision-making, build
actionable tools and information, and
evaluate performance, it is imperative
that the NOAA/NWS collect key SBES
data and fully engage with our
audiences. Additionally, the NOAA/
NWS has articulated a priority to
enhance services for historically
underinvested and underserved
communities and improve service
equity across the board. These
communities typically experience
higher rates of poverty, homelessness,
disabilities, and language barriers,
which increase their vulnerability to
hazard impacts.
