Federal agencies are required to survey their customers to determine the kind and quality of services customers want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. FEMA Managers use the survey results to measure program performance against standards for performance and customer service; measure achievement of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and strategic planning objectives; and generally gauge and make improvements to disaster services that increase customer satisfaction.

Miscellaneous Actions
Program Increases fall into these new categories: Disability Access and Functional Needs population: FEMA’s Strategic Plan emphasizes customer care for the Disability population. Measuring the customer care received will enhance the customer service. Direct Housing Operations population: FEMA provides temporary housing to disaster survivors and measuring their satisfaction during the different phases of living in the unit will enhance the customer service. Internet user’s population: The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan required FEMA and other disaster aid providers to develop a portal for registering for all forms for disaster assistance. This website was new in January 2009 and this collection measures its customers’ satisfaction along with gathering suggestions for improvement and includes an increase in the number of responses to achieve validity. Disaster Recovery Center: Visitors to the centers satisfaction rate and suggestions to improve at the earliest onset of a disaster provide immediate support to the field operations for improving service. Casework Representatives: Measuring the customer service and success of an outbound call to the disaster survivor when explaining eligibility assists the applicant in their recovery process and provides opportunities for training. Prior collection activity was based on 23 disasters per year. The average of the last two years increased to 30 disasters.
