Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Immediate Disaster Case Management Intake
Assessment (hardcopy and electronic versions).
Title: Immediate Disaster Case Management Intake Assessment.
OMB No.: 0970-NEW.
Description: Section 426 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended, 42 U.S.C.
5189d authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the
U.S. Department of Health Services' Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) to provide Immediate Disaster Case Management (IDCM)
services under the federal Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP).
The use of the Electronic Case Management Record System (ECMRS) is
aligned with Executive Order of the President 13589 and the memorandum
to the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies M-12-12 from the
Office of Management and Budget to ``Promote Efficient Spending to
Support Agency Operations.''
The primary purpose of the information collection pertains to ACF/
OHSEPR's initiative to improve the intake process and delivery of case
management services to individuals and households impacted by a
disaster. Further, the information collection will be used to support
ACF/OHSEPR's goal to quickly identify critical gaps, resources, needs,
and services to support State, local and non-profit capacity for
disaster case management and to augment and build capacity where none
exists. All information gathered will be exclusively used to inform the
delivery of disaster case management services and programmatic
strategies and improvements.
Respondents: Individuals impacted by a disaster.
