FEMAs Community Preparedness Division
would like to renew a currently approved collection to evaluate the
state of preparedness nationally. The Community Preparedness
Division analyzes the data collected through this telephone survey
of the public to identify progress and gaps in citizen and
community preparedness and participation. This information is used
by the Community Preparedness Division, and Citizen Corps Councils
to tailor awareness and recruitment campaigns, messaging and public
information efforts, and strategic planning initiatives to more
effectively improve the state of citizen preparedness and
participation across the country.

The total burden estimate for
completion of the data collection represents a slight reduction
from the current information collection. However, the program
office determined to increase the sample size to enable comparative
analysis between fielding methodologies (telephone vs web-based
approaches) with the goal of transitioning from a 100 percent
phone-based survey to a 100 percent web-based survey. The intent is
to determine if other methodologies can reduce cost and/or hour
burden while maintaining data integrity for longitudinal analysis.
If the integrity of longitudinal analysis remains intact,
subsequent iterations of the survey will include other hazards.
Although the sample size has increased by 2,000, the survey length
will be reduced due to the new methodologies and the total burden
hours will be decreased by 10 total hours.
