FEMA's Individual and Community Preparedness Division will engage in qualitative and quantitative research to investigate the effectiveness of preparedness behaviors before, during and after Hurricane Sandy. This research will inform evaluation of existing public messaging regarding disaster preparedness and response at the individual and household level.
Due to the decay of the quality, detail and accuracy of survivor memories over time, this emergency authorization is necessary to protect the accuracy and scientific validity of the data. This collection seeks vital information from survivors about why and how they responded to the threat of Hurricane Sandy as well as what skills, supplies and information best supported them post-disaster. Only through these experiences, can FEMA determine the utility of recommended protective actions, assess the reach of pre-disaster education campaigns and identify opportunities to improve overall community resilience. With regard to the time sensitive nature of survivor observations and the unpredictability of a disaster like Hurricane Sandy, FEMA’s Individual and Community Preparedness Division, (ICPD) cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance process as doing so would irrevocably jeopardize the collection (5 C.F.R § 1320.13(a)(2)iii). Research strongly suggested that newly formed memories remain labile, or easily altered, and are susceptible to corruption overtime. This collection focuses specifically on the respondent’s state of mind, decision making and thought processes in certain time periods immediately preceding and subsequent to landfall of the hurricane. Loss of this data could endanger groundbreaking work in the National Community Preparedness Initiative, a nationally coordinated effort under Presidential Policy Direction 8 (PPD-8) designed to increase the effectiveness of preparedness messaging, education and outreach to more fully engage the whole community.
