organize and manage information related to national service programs,

representatives of current Corporation programs, grantees, or sponsors

used by the Corporation in preparing its Annual Performance Reports as 
well as for responding to ad hoc requests from Congress, the public, 
media, and other interested parties.

for declared disasters in the future, as well as for the current 
Katrina/Rita Hurricane relief and recovery efforts.
