The potential severity of ongoing terrorism threats requires states to become proficient in the use of Epi-X, particularly the emergency notification feature. This data collection will evaluate the functionality and usability of this feature.
After anecdotal discussion with some survey respondents, we understood that the wording of the questionnaire, and the order of possible choices could be simplified without altering the burden to the recipient or the number of people targeted for the survey. A revised survey has been added to reflect content changes and, in some cases, the ordering of the responses.
