Introduction

This information collection is focused on communities that have used or are currently using the NIST Community Resilience
Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems. We are collecting information from representatives of these
communities in order to 1) inform the next generation of guidance on community resilience planning including Version 2.0 of
the NIST Community Resilience Planning Guide and accompanying tool development, 2) better understand the process of
resilience planning, and 3) identify additional resources that communities need for resilience planning.
This collection of information contains Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB). Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any
person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the PRA
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number. Public reporting burden for this collection
is estimated to be 15 minutes per survey, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden,
to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Attn: Jennifer Helgeson, Economist, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, MS
