Comments
The Corporation has implemented this data collection system to
organize and manage information related to disaster recovery program
activities as they occur in the field. All Corporation-supported
programs that assist with disaster response/recovery are asked to
report up-to-date information. The role of the database is to gather
and subsequently disseminate disaster recovery program activities from
all CNCS programs as soon as the activities occur. Due to recent major
hurricane activity in the southern United States, it is essential that
the Corporation has this disaster recovery collection instrument in
place as soon as possible. Therefore, the Corporation has requested
OMB's emergency review and approval by October 31, 2005
