SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is one facet of the multi-hazard readiness
program in eight States that deal with hazardous material spills or
releases. The program's goal is to improve preparedness to protect the
people of these communities in the unlikely event of an accident.
CSEPP, a cooperative effort between FEMA and the U.S. Army, provides
funding (grants), training, community outreach, guidance, technical
support and expertise to State, local, and Tribal governments to
improve their capabilities to prepare for and respond to this type of
disaster. Since no preparedness program can be successful without the
public's understanding and cooperation, input from the residents and
businesses of immediate and/or surrounding areas is vital for program
managers' ability to design custom-tailored strategies to educate and
communicate risks and action plans at the local level. This survey,
which was initiated six years ago, will continue as the assessment
mechanism to document and quantify program achievements. There are two
authorities supporting this information collection: (1) The Government
Performance Results Act of 1993, which mandates Federal agencies to
provide valid and reliable quantification of program achievements, and
(2) Executive Order 12862, which requires agencies to survey customers
to determine their level of satisfaction with existing services.
