DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
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.
There are two versions of this Paper Reduction Act request: (1)
paper intake assessment that will be used until ECMRS is implemented
and operational and (2) Electronic Case Record platform. The ECMRS will
greatly reduce respondent burden through built-in algorithms that will
streamline response options and patterns. 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 major disaster.
