Abstract:
The Individual and Community Preparedness Division (ICPD) analyzes and uses data collected in the two versions of the National Household Survey on Disaster Preparedness to identify progress and gaps in individual and community preparedness and to better understand the motivational factors and barriers to preparedness that people face. The survey measures the public’s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors relative to preparing for disasters. This information is used by ICPD and FEMA components to tailor messaging and public information efforts, community outreach, and strategic planning initiatives to more effectively improve the state of individual preparedness and participation across the country. The findings are compiled in a report that is circulated internally to DHS and FEMA officials as well as made available to the public on the FEMA website, OpenFEMA (https://www.fema.gov/about/openfema/data-sets/national-household-survey).

Short Statement:
The total annual burden estimate for completion of the data collection represents an increase (+32 hours) from the current information collection. The total survey sample size increased from 7,000 to 7,500 (+500 respondents). The expected data collection modality is anticipated to be entirely web and the average time to complete the survey is expected to be 20.5 minutes (0.3417 hours) based on real world averages. This represents a nearly two-fold increase per survey from the weighted average time to complete the survey previously in 10.7 minutes (0.1786 hours) based on the prior mix of survey modalities (phone and web) and instrument forms (national and hazard/regional). These changes increase the total estimated burden hours per data collection. However, the survey is expected to be fielded every other year, rather than annually, which would cut the total burden estimate in half, resulting in an annual burden estimate (1,281) slightly higher than previously (1,250). The total annual burden estimate for completion of the data collection represents an increase of $11,586 from the current information collection. The total survey sample size increased from 7,000 to 7,500 (+500 respondents) contributing to increasing burden costs. Burden costs also increased because of an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2023 occupational wage rate.
