Abstract: To fulfill its mission for FEMA, the Individual and Community Preparedness Division (ICPD) collects information from individuals and organizations by the Preparedness Activity Registration Form and the Preparedness Activity Feedback Form located within a public website. This collection facilitates FEMA’s ability to assess its progress for multiple programs. As new programs or initiatives are created, ICPD will leverage the pre- approved questions in the question bank provided for this collection. ICPD uses this information to inform the continuous improvement of the programs and the Division’s outreach. Further, the information allows the Division to analyze seasonal trends in preparedness across the variety of programs. Raw data is not shared outside of the database; only results of the data assessment is shared. The data is used for internal reports as well as public-facing talking points.
